Description

Located in Fargues in the heart of Sauternes, Château Rieussec has been classified as a Premier Cru Classé since 1855. Owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) since 1984, the estate is regarded as one of Bordeaux's finest producers of sweet wines.

Carmes de Rieussec is the château's second wine, crafted with the same attention to detail while offering a fresher and more approachable expression of the estate.

Tasting

The second wine of Château Rieussec is selected on the same basis as the grand vin.
