Flavour notes

The aroma opens with dried apricot, currants, roasted pineapple, toast and a gentle smoky note. With air, it becomes more layered, bringing in grilled almond and apricot crumble.

On the palate, the sweetness is clear yet balanced by freshness. The texture is soft, with papaya, mango, cooked apricot, orange, peach and marzipan. The finish is persistent, with mineral and saline accents.

Product info about Chateau Rieussec 2021

Château Rieussec 2021 comes from one of Bordeaux's classic sweet wine landscapes: Sauternes. The estate sits on the border of Fargues and Sauternes, where the influence of the Ciron and Garonne helps the development of noble rot. That patient, selective work in the vineyard is central to the style, bringing natural sweetness, concentration and aromatic depth.

The 2021 vintage was anything but straightforward. Frost, rain and unsettled weather kept yields low, before September mist and rain encouraged a gradual spread of botrytis. Harvesting was done by hand in several selective passes, up to four in total. The final blend is 94% Sémillon and 6% Sauvignon blanc, with parcels pressed and vinified separately, followed by around 18 months of ageing in barrel.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of Sauternes we like to explain slowly rather than reduce to a label. It is the grand vin of Château Rieussec, a Premier Cru Classé from the 1855 classification of Sauternes and Barsac, and the estate is part of Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite. From the 2021 vintage onward, Rieussec also introduced a redesigned bottle with a resealable closure, intended to let the wine keep well for several weeks in the fridge after opening.

Serve it chilled. Rieussec mentions pairings such as oysters at brunch and sweetbread, while broader suggestions include white meat, spicy dishes, savoury bites and desserts. With only the last bottles remaining, this is a fine opportunity to experience a serious Sauternes from a demanding, carefully selected vintage.

The aroma opens with dried apricot, currants, roasted pineapple, toast and a gentle smoky note. With air, it becomes more layered, bringing in grilled almond and apricot crumble.

On the palate, the sweetness is clear yet balanced by freshness. The texture is soft, with papaya, mango, cooked apricot, orange, peach and marzipan. The finish is persistent, with mineral and saline accents.

About RIEUSSEC

Rieussec is a well-known name from the French wine world, originating from the famous Bordeaux wine region. The brand is mainly associated with the production of Sauternes, the classic French sweet dessert wine that is appreciated worldwide for its rich and concentrated flavor profile. Rieussec is part of the prestigious Premier Cru Classé-category according to the Bordeaux wine classification of 1855, an indication that it belongs to the historically recognized top of Sauternes producers. The wine estate is located in Fargues, near the village of Sauternes, where the unique microclimate with morning mist and hours of sunshine is ideal for the development of noble rot, a natural process that is essential for the character of these sweet wines. The history of Rieussec goes back to the 18th century, with various owners over time; nowadays it is owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), an established name within the French wine sector. The wines of Rieussec are known for their balance between aromas of honey, dried fruit and spices, and are often characterized by an elegant maturation in oak barrels. The range includes, in addition to the classic Sauternes, also second wines and sometimes dry white Bordeaux. Wine lovers appreciate Rieussec not only for its rich tradition, but also for the ability to combine elegance and depth in every bottle.
