White wine moment. Make it count.
On every bottle
Every bottle comes with a card
One side tells you what to eat with it and what it tastes like. The other side is empty — write a note and the bottle becomes a present.
The front
What to eat with it
Two dishes that work with this wine, two flavours you'll notice, and the right temperature to pour it. No wine-speak.
The back
Room for your note
Lines for a name, a few words and your signature. Have it sent straight to someone and they get a card you wrote, not a packing slip.

Why it's on our shelf
Rieussec makes one of the great Sauternes, but R is what happens when the same team, the same vines, and the same plateau produce a dry white. The 2022 has the weight and precision you'd expect — not a casual aperitif, but a wine that works with a proper first course. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon from Premier Cru terroir, vinified with the same care as the sweet wine.
