It is a Premier Cru Classified according to the prestigious list of 1855 presented to the Emperor Napoléon III, on the proposal of professionals involved and recognized in the Bordeaux.
His reputation , Château Rayne Vigneau. owes it to its quite exceptional geographical location. The 80-hectare vineyard is located on the Bommes plateau, a gravel and sandy ridge harboring agates, onyxes and sapphires.
Furthermore, the Ciron River, a tributary of the Garonne River, provides early morning autumn mists conducive to the birth of botrytis, a form of over-ripening of the berries at the time of harvest.
The vines, whose average age is 40, are made up of the Semillon grape variety for 80%, and the Sauvignon grape variety for 20%. All the harvest is manual with successive sorting, sometimes up to 7, depending on the year to achieve this degree of perfection.
The wine is aged for 50% in new barrels for about 18-24 months before bottling.
Hand-picked from October 12, 2024, the harvest involved several successive selections to ensure that only grapes at optimum ripeness were picked. Yields were limited to 10 hl/ha, reflecting a rigorous selection process. Traditional vinification in barrels, with 30% new barrels, reveals the full richness of the wine, while the 18-month ageing period refines its character.
On tasting, the sunny nose opens with delicate aromas of spices, white peach, ripe apricot and tangerine. On the palate, elegance predominates. Subtle notes of ginger, carried by a vibrant intensity, harmonize with a complexity faithful to the Rayne Vigneau terroir. The silky texture of the attack evolves towards tender bitters, prolonging the pleasure in a remarkably long finish.
With production limited to 30,000 bottles, this vintage embodies a perfect balance between tradition and modernity, sublimating the unique identity of Domaine. A luminous, complex wine for the most discerning palates.
