(4-2013) This bottle was my own contribution to the evening’s entertainment, purchased from the excellent Comptoir Vignobles shop in St. Emilion in tip-top condition. It has the deepest colour of three Sauternes ‘47s that were tasted alongside each other. The nose has a Barsac-like adhesive note with touches of chlorine infusing the rich tangy marmalade aromas. The palate is very well-balanced with that marmalade and honey note continuing. There is plenty of botrytis, although to be frank, there is not the verve of sophistication of the ’59 tasted just a few days earlier. The alcohol is not quite as controlled as the Climens ’47 on the finish, but it remains a tangy delight.

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.
