Is Château Rieussec suitable for ageing and how long can it be kept?
Château Rieussec is one of the best-endowed wines for ageing in the entire Sauternes appellation. Thanks to its concentration of natural sugars, its natural acidity and its richness in glycerol, the fine wine of Château Rieussec can be cellared and flourish for 20 to 50 years, or even longer for the greatest vintages. For optimal storage, it is recommended to keep the bottles in a cellar at a stable temperature, between 10 and 14°C, away from light and vibrations, in a horizontal position. Enthusiasts who wish to enjoy the wine in its full aromatic expression would do well to wait at least 8 to 10 years after the harvest before opening a bottle.
