CHATEAU RIEUSSEC 1983 |

Château Rieussec 1983 Sauternes, 1er Cru Classéu. 12bn, bin-soiled labels, slightly corroded capsulesThis was the year that Rieussec was bought by the Lafite Rothschilds and Charles Chevallier arrived with such éclat. But this great vintage was made by the outgoing owner, Albert Vuillier, and it is a fine tribute to his era. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 9212 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
