Interesting Facts
For several generations, Château Rieussec, along with Château d'Yquem, has remained the leading producer of Sauternes wines. The aroma of the wine is a delightful symphony of honey, pineapple and almond. The harvest is done manually. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels for 2-4 weeks. The wine is aged for 18-26 months in oak barrels, of which 50-55% are new.
