Château de Rayne Vigneau, established in the 18th century, has a history of producing wines that reflect the distinct terroir of Sauternes, providing connoisseurs with a genuine insight into the region’s vinicultural heritage. This vintage displays the classic characteristics of the appellation, featuring a blend that is typically rich in botrytis-affected Semillon grapes. The wine offers a complex profile marked by notes of honeyed fruit and subtle acidity.

Vinous
The 2001 Château de Rayne Vigneau has quite an intense nose of orange cordial, pineapple, saffron and almond scents, not as delineated as its its peers, yet nicely focused. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, viscous and tangy, offering flavors of marmalade and quince. Perhaps it needs a little more nerve on the finish, but it feels sustained in the mouth. Give this a little more time because it is evolving the sophistication that was missing in its youth.
