 Producer Profile...
Château Rieussec has been owned by many different parties, with a fair amount of re-planting taking place in the early 1970s. Since 1984 its 90 hectares, which spread out over the hillsides of Fargues and Sauternes, have been in the capable hands of Lafite-Rothschild. Great investment, low yields and attention to detail result in hugely concentrated, elegant wines that see a lot of new oak.
 1er cru Sauternes 2005
A stunning wine, probably the best of the 2005 vintage after d'Yquem. Lovely botrytis...
