Description
2013 Sauternes, 1. Cru Classe, Bordeaux
The Chateau de Rayne Vigneau vineyard is situated on a beautiful hilltop overlooking the Sauternes wine region; it is the third highest peak after Chateau d’Yquem. This 2013 is 85% Semillon and 15% Sauvignon Blanc.
Although the climatic conditions were contrasted in 2013, the quality of the harvest in Sauternes was saved by the development of an exceptionally pure botrytis. The wine is at first fruity, and then develops on a rather blended and velvety acidity on the palate. This vintage once again reveals the Chateau de Rayne Vigneau signature: an outstanding tension between freshness and richness.
