Chateau Rieussec Sauternes Blanc

In the 18th century, Rieussec belonged to Carmelite monks. During the revolution the estate was confiscated and sold as a object of national heritage to the owner of Château La Louvière. Rieussec was ranked premier cru in the 1855 classification of Bordeaux chateaux, but it subsequently changed hands many times, including a spell in the stable of the Gasqueton family of Château Calon-Ségur. It was acquired by the Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) in 1984.
