Château Rieussec 2023 is a Premier Cru Classé Sauternes made predominantly from Sémillon, with Sauvignon Blanc bringing additional freshness and aromatic lift.
Apricot, pineapple and mango are joined by candied citrus peel, acacia, chamomile and subtle vanilla notes. The palate is rich and creamy, but fresh acidity and a gentle citrus bitterness keep the sweetness precise and balanced through the long finish.
The 2023 blend is 89% Sémillon and 11% Sauvignon Blanc. Grapes affected by noble rot were harvested by hand in several passes, with individual parcels fermented separately before extended aging in oak.
Food Pairing: Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, roasted poultry, spicy Asian dishes, smoked cheeses, apricot tart, apple pie, or almond-based desserts.
Serve around 46–50°F.
