WINE | WHITE WINE | BORDEAUX | SAUTERNES PREMIER CRUBottle of : 0.75L
Premier Grand Cru Classé of Sauternes since 1855
- A benchmark producer of the Sauternes appellation, Château de Rayne Vigneau represents the classical expression of botrytised Semillon from the region's finest terroir. Consistent quality and ageing potential make it a cornerstone holding for any serious cellar.
- Characterised by expressive aromatics, structural complexity and a silky palate, this wine demonstrates the power and refinement that distinguishes the Premier Cru class. The balance between richness and acidity is notably well-judged.
- Cellaring for several years will allow the wine to develop further complexity and integration. The botrytis character will evolve, revealing deeper honeyed and dried fruit notes. Patience rewards the collector with a wine of considerable depth.

Breeding
Ageing in oak barrels with 50% new wood each year
On the eye
Deep golden hue with amber undertones, indicating noble rot concentration and maturity potential.
On the nose
Expressive and layered: ripe pear, lime blossom and white pepper lead, with subtle honeyed undertones developing on aeration. The bouquet is refined rather than heavy.
In the mouth
Silky texture with fine acidity providing structure and lift. The palate shows pear and stone fruit with a mineral edge, finishing with a clean, persistent sweetness. Balance and elegance are hallmarks.
A wine of genuine distinction. I find Rayne Vigneau's consistency across vintages remarkable—it never overshoots the mark, preferring elegance to excess. The 2022 is no exception. Try it with blue cheese, particularly Roquefort, where the wine's acidity cuts beautifully through the salt and richness. Or simply enjoy it as a meditation wine in the evening. This is Sauternes as it should be: complex, rewarding, and built to age gracefully.

CHATEAU DE RAYNE VIGNEAU
Established on the commune of Bommes in the Gironde, Château Rayne Vigneau is a 1er Grand Cru Classé de Sauternes whose 84 hectares of sandy gravels have dominated the Sauternais since 1635. Classified in 1855 under Mme de Rayne, the château produces exclusively sweet white wines from very low-yielding vines — just 10 to 15 hl/ha — on soils notably enriched with semi-precious stones. Acquired in 2015 by the Trésor du Patrimoine group, it now holds HVE certification. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the consistency of its style: Sauternes of remarkable precision, true to the identity of the appellation. A reliable reference for lovers of great Bordeaux liquoreux.
SAUTERNES PREMIER CRU
Château Rayne-Vigneau est une référence établie de Sauternes depuis 1855. Ce 2022 offre une robe vieil or aux reflets ambrés, un bouquet complexe d\'abricot rôti et mangue séchée, et une bouche onctueuse sans lourdeur. À apprécier seul en méditation ou à table, notamment avec fromages bleus et desserts aux fruits secs.
