Description
Château de Ricaud Loupiac confirms its reputation as the gold standard in Loupiac wines. It is no coincidence that journalists in the 50s affectionately referred to this wine as the “Yquem of the Right Bank”. Château de Ricaud Loupiac is light in style, offering delicious flavours of laser-precision. Freshness is the key word in a wine where sweetness and acidity are in perfect harmony, and that culminates in a long and lingering finish.

Tasting Note
“Lovely golden hue. On the nose, aromas of quince, pineapple and dried apricots intermingle in perfect harmony. The wine is generous on the palate, while the acidity levels balance beautifully with the rich, sweetness. The freshness lingers on the lovely, full flavoured and perfumed finish.” Frédéric Bonnaffous, Dourthe Estates Director
Food Pairing
Perfect match with foie gras, white meat (poultry), fish (cod) and shellfish, asian dishes (sushis, maki and deserts such as mango and coconut rice sushi)
