Score 74/100 · Drink 1983, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
A straightforward, fruity, rather sweet wine, without much botrytis, but displaying solid, under ripe flavors of peaches and mint. Typically light, and lacking muscle and concentration, the 1979 Rayne-Vigneau should be drunk up. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 6/83.

About the producer

Rayne Vigneau
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.
