    Producer

    The Château Rieussec vineyard stretches across diverse soils, where clay and limestone combine to give the wine its richness. The vines are cultivated with care, favoring sustainable viticultural practices to preserve biodiversity and the quality of the terroir. Bordeaux's temperate oceanic climate, with its maritime influences, allows for optimal grape ripening, thus contributing to the complexity of the aromas.

    Owner and history

    Château Rieussec is currently owned by Les Domaines Barons de Rothschild, who have breathed new life into the estate while respecting its traditions. The current owners are committed to continuing the family legacy, emphasizing the quality and authenticity of the wines. Their vision is to produce exceptional wines that reflect the terroir and Bordeaux winemaking expertise, while adhering to a sustainable approach.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Château Rieussec relies on traditional expertise combined with modern techniques. The grapes are carefully selected and vinified separately to preserve the identity of each plot. After gentle pressing, the must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing for a pure expression of aromas. Aging takes place on fine lees, promoting a beautiful roundness and enhanced aromatic complexity before bottling.
