Tasting notes
This is the first reassuring example of Rayne-Vigneau in years, exhibiting a deft touch of new oak, an elegant, yet concentrated, flavorful style, and a great deal of finesse. The overwhelming impression is one of pears, pineapples, and great balance and character. Anticipated maturity: Now-2001. Last tasted, 11/90.

About the producer

The 1855 classification placed Ch. de Rayne Vigneau just behind Ch. d’Yquem – also a nearby neighbour. Its 84-hectare vineyard sits in a single block on gravel mounds, overlooking the Ciron in Sauternes, and producing impressive sweet wines.
