About the Product
- Classification
- Premier Cru Classe (Sauternes & Barsac)
- Producer Notes
- Château Sigalas Rabaud, First Classified Growth 1855, belongs to the Sauternes AOC. It is the result of hard and precise work on “the jewel of Sigalas” , the 14 Ha vineyard in sustainable viticulture. A demanding, manual bay-by-bay selection of pure botrytis cinerea from September to November gives the immense complexity of the great Sigalas Rabaud. Created in the 19th century by the Sigalas Family, this great wine never ceases to amaze with its aromatic richness, its beautiful silky robe and its length in the mouth.

Tasted: Jan 2003
(2003) Nice richness on the nose. A little one-dimensional at present, but a good quality of fruit. Lovely and sweet on the palate, but lacks a touch of complexity. Has the underlying quality to improve I think, but for now,
