    Description

    The precision and freshness of a Sauternes Premier Grand Cru Classé

    The estate

    Château de Rayne Vigneau is located in the commune 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 de Pontac family, closely linked to the great wines of Bordeaux. Today the château belongs to the Trésor du Patrimoine group.

    The vineyard

    Château de Rayne Vigneau 2022 is a Sauternes wine made from a 84-hectare vineyard on a single hilltop overlooking the appellation. The vines are 40 years old on average and are planted on a mosaic of soils. On the heights there are clay and gravel soils, while at lower altitudes the vines are planted on clay and sandy soils with subsoils of lacustrine limestone. The vineyard is run sustainably with an intra-plot management.

    Winemaking and ageing

    Manual harvesting by successive selections. Light pressing before vinification in barrels (30% new). Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels.

    Blend

    Sémillon (73%)
    Sauvignon Blanc (24%)
    Muscadelle (3%).
