The Origines wines are the testimony of the expression of a place in its most singular way, transcribed in the bottle with the sole influence of the Alsatian micro-climate. Selection of different predominantly granitic and marl-limestone plots on the steep and sunny terroirs of Niedermorschwihr, Katzenthal, Turckheim and Ingersheim. Harvested by hand, gentle pressing for six hours to preserve the aromatics of the grapes. Natural fermentation in hundred-year-old oak barrels. Aging on fine lees for one winter before bottling in the summer.

Normally held back at the winery for an extra year, it shows the captivating yeasty quality in the nose that true Chablis should have. It is both fleshy and full while retaining a solid mineral core and zesty acidity. Wines from this famous region are some of the most versatile with food, and this is no exception. Very thirst quenching, it will marry well with all seafood and poultry as well as with stronger cheese such as Gruyère or Comté.

HARVEST NOTE 2018 produced a vintage of historic quality. The hot and dry summer season brought the grapes to complete and uniform maturity with no adverse elements to sort out. Fermentations proceeded steadily and the wine began its extended aging in barrels in the Jadot cellar for 18 months, followed by an additional 6-month period of refinement in stainless steel tanks. TASTING NOTE The thoroughly ripe grapes conferred a deep color to this wine as well as an opulent texture. Aromas of dark berries are intertwined with hints of mocha and spice which evolve over the long and persistent finish. This wine has both the elegance and density to age for many years to come.

Winemaker Notes Watch when Jean-Sébastien Philippe, International Director of the iconic Domaines Baron de Rothschild appears in this tasting featuring the newly released 97 point - 2019 Château Rieussec. Jean-Sébastien and Michael Llodra, owner of Bordeaux wine bar, Chai Mica, join Wine.com host Gwendolyn Osborn to challenge the myth that Sauternes is purely a "dessert" wine and prove that it can be an exceptional and versatile food wine that both complements rich textures and contrasts with salty or spicy foods (think oysters, fried chicken and prosciutto!) Tasting Note Delicate golden color with soft green glints. Intense nose with tremendous aromatic richness. Initial notes of citrus zest are followed by lemon tart, and then toasted notes reminiscent of freshly baked brioche. The palate offers mandarin zest and candied orange, enlivened by a touch of star anise which underscores the wine’s aromatic freshness. Dense and rich, the palate has good length with a pleasant hint of bitterness on the finish. It is only in Sauternes that botrytis can develop, giving Rieussec its unique richness.
