Winemaker Notes The Rieussec "R" is produced on the Château Rieussec estate, 1st Classified Growth in Sauternes. It is partly from the same vines that will give Sauternes. The fermentation is done for 20% in barrels. This technique gives the wine a good aging potential while preserving as much as possible the freshness and the fruit of the grapes. James Suckling Very aromatic with cooked pears, lemon rind, peaches and stone. This is very powerful and rich with depth and intensity that show superb power. Dense and foursquare with wild fruit. It’s phenolic and exciting. Needs a little time to soften the edges. Try after 2020.

Winemaker Notes Comprised of Xarel·lo with a nearly equal amount of Macabeu. The wine is fermented in oak barrels, marked by notes of ripe fruits married to a lively citrus-infused backbone: the height of elegance. Aged a minimum of 7 years on the lees. 94 points Decanter  The 2014 vintage of the estate's flagship sparkling wine saw 68 months of lees ageing. A blend of 56% Xarel-lo and 44% Macabeo, it's more sweet-spiced on the nose compared to the 2017 vintage, with still-fresh green and yellow apples and hints of crushed almonds. Bone-dry on the palate with 5.1g/l of acidity. Elegant and textured, the crunchy green fruits are enriched by bruised apple and sourdough notes, leading to a long finish. (SW)  (11/2022)

Wine Spectator A touch old-school, featuring savory, tobacco and rosemary accents amid a core of concentrated black cherry, red currant and plum paste flavors.

James Suckling A perfumed nose of flint, gunpowder, wet stone, baked lemons, pears and apple skin. Full-bodied with so much nuance and depth. Layered and effortlessly balanced.

A beam of iron minerality brings shape and balance to this version, while invigorating acidity and tannins drive the energy. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault.
