Loupiac, France
Château Ricaud
Château Ricaud puts Loupiac’s sweet-wine logic into clear focus: Sémillon, clay-limestone slopes, and the Garonne’s botrytis-friendly autumn conditions. The estate’s historic setting and amphitheatre-shaped vineyard terrain make it a useful stop for understanding Bordeaux’s quieter sweet white tradition, especially for drinkers who know Sauternes but have spent less time on the opposite bank.
