Château Rieussec 1. Cru 2011 er en sød vin med gylden farve og aromaer af honning, mandel og ananas. Smagen byder på tropiske frugter og mandarin med en honningagtig eftersmag. Vinen består af 90% Semillon, 7% Sauvignon Blanc og 3% Muscadelle. Druerne høstes manuelt og vinen lagres 18-26 måneder på fade, hvoraf 55% er nye. Årlig produktion er 3. 000-6. 000 kasser. Château Rieussec er en førende vin i Sauternes, især efter Rothschild-familien overtog i 1984. Vinen er blandt de bedste i Sauternes og nærmer sig Château d’Yquem i kvalitet.
