Château de RAYNE VIGNEAU
1er grand cru classé

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.

La Revue du Vin de France : 95-97/100 “Remarkably fragrant and invigorating, evocative, with fruity notes enhanced by penetrating hints of pink grapefruit and bergamot. Full of flavour, then, a lively wine with a slender body, intense rather than full-bodied. Already very appealing, this distinguished wine stands out as one of the great successes of the vintage.”

Vinous (N. Martin): 95-97/100 "The 2025 Rayne-Vigneau has a backward nose with dried honey, yellow plum and almond scents, perhaps less forward than some of its peers. The palate is well balanced with a very pure entry, bright acids and a gorgeous, tender yet paradoxically powerful finish. Oh yes!"

Bettane+Desseauve : 96/100 “A magnificent balance, full-bodied and deep, with a vigour reminiscent of the appellation’s greatest historical achievements. An ideal expression of the Haut-Bommes terroir.”

Vinous (A. Galloni): 92-94/100 "The 2025 Rayne-Vigneau is a wild, exotic wine. Orange confit, burnt sugar, creme brilée and candied ginger build in an ample, creamy, rich, luscious Sauternes. This is beautifully done. Extroverted tropical and spice overtones emerge on the close."
