The Rieussec winery and vineyard is located in the region of Graves (aka gravel) on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. In Graves is the appellation of Sauternes, famous for its honeyed, rich dessert wines, but Rieussec also makes an incredible Bordeaux Blanc Sec.  The winery was begun in the 18th century under the Carmelite monks, who valued the vineyards' gravelly clay and sandy soil. During the great 1855 Classification of Bordeaux, Rieussec was ranked as a First Growth for its Sauternes and Barsac wines. Another turning point occurred in 1984 when Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) acquired the estate, implementing meticulous measures often described as “Draconian.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"wineCRAFT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39951274213399,"sku":"","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9076\/4311\/files\/Carmes_De_Reiussec_Sauternes_2020_714e0587-5968-46ed-b374-8fcecb0ad878.jpg?v=1721745563","url":"https:\/\/hartandcru.com\/products\/carmes-de-rieussec-sauternes-2018","provider":"HART \u0026 CRU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
