Château Rieussec--Vintage 1986
Fargues (Sauternes), 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Another excellent growing season and, unlike 1985, with ideal Autumn conditions: morning mists to encourage boytritis and sunshine to increase further the grape sugar content
Rieussec: long one of the best-known Sauternes. A controlling interest was acquired by the Domaines Rothschild, of Lafite, in 1984. 1986 was their first major vintage. J.M.B.
