Rieussec 1996 is a mature sweet wine from the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux. This vintage exhibits a rich golden hue, with an intricate profile of dried fruits, honey and subtle spices. The palate reveals a medium-bodied texture, marked by a harmonious interplay of sweetness and a striking acidity that underscores its complexity. Château Rieussec has a long history dating back to the 18th century and is classified as a Premier Cru Classé in the 1855 Bordeaux classification. The vineyard benefits from proximity to the Ciron River, which contributes to the ideal conditions for noble rot, essential for creating this iconic sweet wine.
