First Growth. Premier Cru Classe in 1855. This producer makes a third wine with a similar name (Sauternes de Rayne Vigneau). Ensure your merchant has the wine you are looking for.
Critic tasting note: (2000 vintage) "(2003) Good botrytis notes of honey and a touch of fig. Buttery too. The palate has good fruit, but quite light with a delightful sweep of clean melon and pear flavours and a sense of richness. Well-balanced, and very good indeed." - Tom Cannavan

The grapes are slowly attacked by bottytis cinerea, or "noble roe', towards the end of the growing season. They are then harvested in several waves, and picked only when perfectly ripe and botrytised. Depending on the vintage, pickers may need to go through the vineyard from 4 to 8 times. Rayne Vigneau owns a brand new wine press, where each lot, carefully selected, is slowly squeezed. The resulting juice (must) is allowed to settle for 24 hours before being poured into barrels (part of them are new oak) where fermentation Will take place. This lasts for between 2 and 4 weeks in a cellar whose temperature is controlled.

Although the region had the same warm spells as the rest of Bordeaux, the weather was not particularly conducive to developing botrytis. Often the grapes ripened before botrytis set in meaning produc...
