Château De Rayne VigneauSauternes 2010 375mL
About this product
A substantial producer of Sauternes wines, sourcing fruit from their 79 hectare property located in the south of the appelation. The estate lies in a confluence of climate and position between the Ciron and Garonne rivers, creating a regular opportunity for botrytis on the grapes. The grape varieties are split between Semillon 75%, Sauvignon Blanc 23% and Muscadelle 2%, which when picked for Sauternes sweet wines are fermented in stainless steel tanks before spending around 18 months in 60% new oak. Chateau de Rayne-Vigneau is classified 1st Growth.

The Rayne-Vigneau 2010 appears to come on leaps and bounds since its showing in barrel, displaying the chutzpah that I hoped would develop. It has an endearing bouquet with delicate scents of lemon curd, orange peel and a touch of coconut, exhibiting good levels of botrytis. The palate is very smooth on the entry with good acidity, honeyed and lightly spiced fruit and an elegant finish. This is a straight, down-the-line, delicious Sauternes that should elicit pleasure over the next two or three decades. Drink now-2035.
