1989 Chateau de Ricaud Loupiac

Located south of Bordeaux near Cadillac, Château de Ricaud benefits from diverse soils ideal for fine wine production. Purchased by Alain Thiénot in 1980 and redeveloped with Dourthe in 2007, the estate became a benchmark for both Loupiac sweet wines and top Côtes de Bordeaux reds. Loupiac, across the Garonne from Sauternes and Barsac, is renowned for high-quality sweet whites, standing apart within the broader Premières Côtes de Bordeaux appellation for its exceptional dessert wines.
