Bordeaux Château Rieussec

Our committee's review

Currently undergoing a remarkable transformation, Château Rieussec—an historic Premier Cru Classé from the village of Fargues—is embracing a bold new chapter. Under fresh leadership and backed by the unwavering support of the Rothschild family’s Lafite branch, the estate is poised for a striking revival.

Today, we're shining a light on the estate’s dry white—a bold, forward-thinking cuvée that dares to aim for nothing less than excellence.

From a truly exceptional terroir—sharing some of the finest vineyard exposures with its famed neighbour Yquem—this dry white stands out for its crystal-clear purity and remarkable aromatic precision, a rarity in the region. Modern, vibrant, and full of character, the R de Rieussec breaks the mould of classic Bordeaux whites. Its taut freshness, silky texture, and saline finish call to mind the great Chenins of the Loire Valley, while confidently asserting its own unique identity. A brilliant balancing act—and a true achievement.

Don’t wait to dive in—this is Bordeaux rewriting its own story, right before your eyes!
