Chateau Rieussec, one of the grand estates of Sauternes in Bordeaux and owned by the Domaines Barons de Rothschild, has been crafting opulent and luscious sweet wines, recognized for their complexity and longevity, since it was established in the 18th century.

Château Rieussec, an 84-hectare First Growth Sauternes estate in Fargues bordering Château d'Yquem, produces noble sweet wines from limestone-clay soils using predominantly Sémillon (90%) with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. The estate, owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild since 1984, maintains traditional Sauternes methods with multiple selective harvests and 18-24 months aging in French oak, while implementing modern precision in both vineyard management and winemaking.
