Classified among the first growths of Sauternes during the classification of 1855, the vineyard of Rayne Vigneau (84 hectares, including 62 in one piece) is famous for its soil, which is well known to geologists, as it is composed of a great variety of precious minerals of Pyrenean origin. Without losing sight of these "luxurious" origins " Rayne Vigneau offers smooth, easily accessible wines with floral aromas that are particularly marked in their youth.
Bettane & Dessauve : 94/100 « Robe dorée, nez sur l’abricot et le safran, avec un fruit frais et compact ; bouche assez légère mais bien rôtie. La finale est marquée par une légère amertume. »
Vinous (N. Martin): 91-93/100 "The 2024 Rayne-Vigneau has a relatively light bouquet that doesn't quite deliver the complexity of recent vintages, though it is clean with pleasant dried honey aromas. The palate is better, with ample weight, fine acidity and dried honey mixed with peach and marmalade notes that lead to a stem ginger-tinged finish. One of the more early-drinking vintages from Rayne-Vigneau, but it has class."
J-M Quarin : 91/100 « Couleur jaune, aux reflets verts. Nez intense, fin, fruité et même noble. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, suave au milieu, le vin évolue sur un corps un brin collant avant de finir plus savoureux et long. »
La Revue du Vin de France : 90-92/100 « Plus en finesse qu’en puissance, avec une matière harmonieuse, présente, mise en mouvement par une acidité “piquante”. On cherche les tendances aromatiques, pour l’heure peu évidentes à définir. »
Vinous (A. Galloni): 92-94/100 "The 2024 Rayne-Vigneau is a powerful, authoritative wine. Candied lemon peel, marzipan, dried flowers, mint and light tropical inflections fill out the layers. Rayne Vigneau offers terrific persistence, capped off with a slightly phenolic edge that adds quite a bit of character."
