As early as 1868, Charles Cocks remarked “Beyond any of the others, Rieussec produces wines very similar to Yquem wines”. Extensive pruning and the sparing use of natural fertilizer helps keep production low. The techniques remain traditional and specific to the Sauternes region. In terms of yields, the traditional reference is that a single vine should produce a bottle of wine. Here, though, a single vine produces about a glass of wine. Traditional fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats and can last as long as two months. The wine is aged for 16 to 26 months in oak barrels, produced mostly at Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) cooperage and half are renewed each year. Classified \"Premier Grand Cru\" in 1855, Rieussec has held its reputation and the quality of its wine, throughout the difficult years which Sauternes properties have been through. Albert Vuillier, who took over in 1971, has paid special attention to the development of the vineyard and pushed the standard of the wines produced to the highest level. This policy has paid dividends, since in recent years, Rieussec has received particular acclaim in numerous tastings of the \"Premier Cru\" of Sauternes. In 1985, wishing to consolidate Rieussec's position, Albert Vuillier entered into partnership with Les Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) to go even further in the elusive search for the perfect Sauternes.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2022-12-26T10:20:42-05:00","created_at":"2022-12-22T16:16:09-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK2212","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Chateau Rieussec","Region_Bordeaux","Source_Bestofwines1222","Type_Sweet Wine","Varietal_Muscadelle","Varietal_Sauvignon Blanc","Varietal_Semillon"],"price":19999,"price_min":19999,"price_max":19999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42642295062666,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2016 | Chateau Rieussec (Half Bottle)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":19999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/54_675193a9-0a92-4b81-9cb2-c592571cd587.png?v=1671743843"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/54_675193a9-0a92-4b81-9cb2-c592571cd587.png?v=1671743843","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2016 | Chateau Rieussec (Half Bottle) at CaskCartel.com","id":23826143445130,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.423,"height":1498,"width":633,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/54_675193a9-0a92-4b81-9cb2-c592571cd587.png?v=1671743843"},"aspect_ratio":0.423,"height":1498,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/54_675193a9-0a92-4b81-9cb2-c592571cd587.png?v=1671743843","width":633}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eSweet Wine: 2016 | Chateau Rieussec (Half Bottle)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA great Sauternes with a wonderful brightness and freshness, this gathers speed through the palate, developing flavours of cinnamon, caramel, white pepper, clove and smoked pineapple, all wrapped in an extremely silky texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp;
