Rieussec, Château - Sauternes

The modern era at Château Rieussec began in 1984, when the Rothschild family (Lafite) bought the estate and completely renovated it. The excellent vineyards with Chateau d'Yquem in the immediate vicinity has always led to great vintages, but since the introduction of the Rothschilds, the quality has always been at the highest level. Rieussec is often comparable in style and quality to its even more famous neighbor, but it is considerably cheaper.
