Château Rieussec Sauternes 2014 is a prestigious Premier Grand Cru Classé dessert wine from the legendary Sauternes appellation in Bordeaux. Owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), the estate is renowned for producing rich, complex, and age-worthy sweet wines that rival the finest in the region.
The 2014 vintage in Sauternes is celebrated for its purity, freshness, and beautifully defined botrytis character. Ideal climatic conditions allowed the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), concentrating the sugars and flavours while preserving vibrant acidity. The result is a harmonious and elegant Sauternes with both richness and precision.
Crafted primarily from Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, and aged in French oak barrels, Château Rieussec 2014 delivers luxurious texture, layered sweetness, and exceptional ageing potential.
