The vintage
The 2025 vintage begins with a mild winter, followed by an early and particularly even spring. Summer then settles in for the long term, characterised by hot and very dry conditions, with marked water stress from the start of the season, though without excessive blockage. This gradual tension naturally limited yields, allowing for precise and homogeneous ripeness. The wide temperature variations at the end of summer played a key role in preserving freshness and aromatic precision. In this demanding context, the grapes destined for dry whites stand out for their purity, energy, and balance. Thus, 2025 emerges as a vintage of character at Rieussec, taut and particularly expressive for dry white wines.
