An elegant and fresh Sauternes wine
The estate
Since the 17th century, Château Rabaud-Promis has perpetuated a tradition of viticultural excellence, deeply rooted in the history of the Sauternes appellation. Established on the Rabaud hill since the end of the 18th century, the estate, a Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1855, has experienced a family saga marked by transmissions and recompositions until its purchase in 1950 by Raymond-Louis Lanneluc. Since then, the family has been committed to preserving this heritage by combining ancestral know-how, respect for nature, and oenological innovations.
The vineyard
The vineyard of Château Rabaud-Promis extends over 33 hectares, predominantly planted with sémillon, on a terroir of Pyrenean gravel. Advocating sustainable viticulture, this Sauternes estate values biodiversity and limits interventions to preserve the natural balance.
Blend
Sauvignon blanc and sémillon.
