Château Rieussec 2006 comes from one of the few remaining family-run estates in Sauternes and embodies its Premiers Grands Crus Classés status through its long-lasting structure. The 2006 vintage was produced under ideal climatic conditions, ensuring that only perfectly botrytized grapes were harvested. This guarantees the typical balance of concentration and lively acidity. The half bottle reduces the oxidation surface and protects the aromas.

Tasting reveals amber hues with marzipan-like notes, candied oranges, and saffron. On the palate, it convinces with a silky texture, balanced sweetness, and a mineral base for a long-lasting finish. Fourteen degrees Celsius guarantee the best development. The optimal drinking maturity begins now and offers ideal potential well into the 2030s.

It pairs well with foie gras, blue cheese, or caramelized desserts. Lightly spiced Asian dishes also complement it, as the acidity elegantly balances fat and heat. The limited bottling quantity ensures you exclusive access to this matured Bordeaux sweet wine.

LIFE BEFORE...

Where possible, and especially with larger wine cellar purchases, the wine cellars of the previous owners tell us a lot about the storage conditions of the wines. A professionally managed wine cellar usually guarantees perfect storage conditions for the wines. We acquire our wines exclusively from reputable, mostly private wine collectors.

HIDDEN FEATURES

Many high-quality wines today feature various security features for authentication, such as markings that only become visible under UV light. We check and compare all purchased wines for these features using an extensive database, and if there is even the slightest doubt, we reject the wine.

THE DETAILS MATTER

We examine wine labels under a microscope to determine their quality, and we check the printed image for any peculiarities that are typical for a particular winery, wine, or vintage. We draw on a large image database to identify any anomalies.

COLOR MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Last but not least, we also examine the wine's composition. Color, turbidity, sediment, and the bubbles in a champagne reveal a lot about the wine's or champagne's condition and potential drinking pleasure.
