Château de Rayne Vigneau

Château de Rayne Vigneau is a renowned wine estate located in Bommes, Bordeaux, France. Classified as a Premier Cru Classé in the 1855 classification, this château is celebrated for its high-quality Sauternes, one of the premier sweet white wines of the region.

Château de Rayne Vigneau wines are primarily crafted from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle, the traditional grape varieties of Sauternes. They are distinguished by their richness, complexity, and perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. The cuvées feature opulent aromas of honey, apricot, peach, quince, with subtle notes of vanilla and spices. On the palate, the Sauternes reveal a creamy texture, great depth, and a long, elegant finish. The Château de Rayne Vigneau 2015, for instance, is particularly praised for its balance between richness and freshness, as well as its exceptional aging potential.

The estate follows traditional viticulture and winemaking practices, employing classic techniques of late harvesting and fermentation to preserve the quality and expressiveness of the botrytized grapes. Each bottle of Château de Rayne Vigneau reflects the excellence of the Sauternes terroir, providing a refined and memorable tasting experience.
