Description

A bottle of 1976 Château Rieussec 1er Cru from Sauternes. Wine critic Robert Parker noted that the yield at Rieussec in 1976 was a meagre 2.5 hectoliters per hectare, equivalent to approximately one third of a glass of wine per vine.

The estate is currently owned by Domaines Baron de Rothschild, and the vineyards, planted with 95% Sémillon, 3% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle, border those of Château D’Yquem to the west.

Note that there is no ABV stated on the bottle.

Condition

Please see images for fill level and label condition. Note general wear and damage to the label.

The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment. Wines are more fragile than spirits and older wines may be listed, at our discretion, for their historical interest rather than their drinkability. We can in no way guarantee that they are still within their plateau of maturity or to the buyer’s taste.

This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
