The Winery

Château Rieussec

Château Rieussec

IN THE 18TH CENTURY, the Rieussec estate belonged to the Carmes de Langon monks. The confiscation of the estate during the revolution led to its public sale around 1790 as an "object of national heritage" to Mr. Marheilhac, the period's owner of Château La Louvière at Léognan.

I shared this with my partner.
Yellow, with golden hints. Refreshing scents of ripe lemons. Good acidity for my taste.
You should try Chateau Rieussec Carmes de Rieussec Sauternes with marinated sardines.
