Characteristics and tasting advice for Château de Rayne Vigneau 2023
Tasting
Despite low yields, this vintage marks the perfect alliance between power, elegance and vivacity.
A lively and delicate Premier Grand Cru Classé from Sauternes
The property
The Château de Rayne Vigneau is located in the town of Bomme overlooking the Sauternes appellation. Created in the 17th century, the estate has passed through the hands of several illustrious families such as the Pontac family, intimately linked to the great wines of Bordeaux. Today the château belongs to the Trésor du Patrimoine group.
The vineyard
Château de Rayne Vigneau is a Sauternes wine from a single 84-hectare vineyard overlooking the appellation. The 40-year-old vines on average rest on a mosaic of terroirs. On the heights, there are clay-gravel soils, while at lower altitudes the vines are planted on clay-sandy soils with lacustrine limestone subsoils. The vineyard is managed using reasoned agriculture with intra-plot management.
Vinification and aging
Manual harvesting by successive sorting. Light pressing before vinification in barrels (30% new). Aging for 18 months in French oak barrels.
Blend
Sémillon (72%)
Sauvignon blanc (26%)
Muscadelle (2%).
