LE REYSSE
Château LE REYSSE
This Château was founded in 1983 followed a context of the Château LASSUS estate
distribution. Patrick Chaumont got from his father two vineyards originally
belonging to Château LASSUS. Patrick quitted the co-operative where Château
LASSUS belonged to and started his own operation with the new Château LE REYSSE.
Since 2010 Château Le Reysse is part of the Vignobles Paeffgen and is ruled by
Heike and Stefan Paeffgen.

The Wine
CChâteau LE REYSSE is a typical Médoc wine with a surprisingly specific style. The old vines, the rigorous selection and the long ageing in barriques
give this wine a sophisticated complexity in its directness, reflecting the terroir in its finesse.
LE REYSSE surprises on the palate with a multidimensionality that creates a space filled with a unique combination of pure complexity,
seductive elegance and sublime subtlety; this expands into a never-ending finale. By expressing this stylistic elegance, LE REYSSE incidentally makes density,
richness and opulence a secondary matter, thus marking a charmingly clear opposition to the diffuseness of exaggerated extraction giants and emphasising its uniqueness
in the reflection on the independent character of finesse as the essential. Off the beaten track, this unique finesse of LE REYSSE invites you to discover fascinating
worlds of taste with facets of aromatic precision that, for all the diversity of the wine world, offers a surprisingly independent new discovery.
