Wonderfully explosive, bursting with lime, honey, and dried apricot notes; it burns your palate with flavors that go on and on. Medium-to-full-bodied, very sweet, yet fresh and balanced.

Deep golden colour. Medium intensity aroma of honey, dried apricots, peach jam, honeysuckle, hint of dried acacia petals. Palate is oily and concentrated with savoury and spiced dried stone fruits, pleasant bitterness at mid palate, continues to a fading medium light citrusy acidity and concludes with creamy dried and spiced honeyed fruits.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
This is the first reassuring example of Rayne-Vigneau in years, exhibiting a deft touch of new oak, an elegant, yet concentrated, flavorful style, and a great deal of finesse. The overwhelming impression is one of pears, pineapples, and great balance and character.

Château Château De Rayne Vigneau
Château De Rayne Vigneau
Château De Rayne Vigneau

Chateau Rayne Vigneau was created at the beginning of the 17th century. The Vigneau de Bommes was its first owner. Gabriel de Vigneau appears in writings as early as 1635. His son Etienne married Jeanne Sauvage, daughter of the lord of Yquem, and personally took charge of the property in 1681. Madame de Rayne purchased the Vigneau estate in 1834.

The official 1855 classification places Chateau Rayne Vigneau among the premier crus of Sauternes. In 1867, the great broker Daney ranked it first immediately after Yquem. It was Albert de Pontac, grand-nephew of Madame de Rayne, who gave the property its name "Rayne Vigneau".
Between 2004 and 2015, Chateau de Rayne Vigneau belonged to CA Grands Crus, a subsidiary of the Credit Agricole Group, which implemented an optimization plan for the entire vineyard. Since 2007, the chateau has adopted sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture.

Today, Chateau de Rayne Vigneau, acquired by the Tresor du Patrimoine group, is managed by Vincent Labergere, assisted by the advice of oenologist Henri Boyer. The chateau embodies a reliable value of the appellation, claiming, vintage after vintage, a style full of intensity, length, and freshness.

The vineyard covers 84 hectares and the vines, averaging 30 years old, are divided between Semillon (74%), Sauvignon Blanc (24%) and Muscadelle (2%). The harvest remains traditional with successive selections. Harvested by hand, only perfectly "botrytized" grapes are picked. The wines are aged for 18 months in oak barrels, of which 40% to 50% are new each year.
