Château de Rayne Vigneau 2003

The structure and aromatic expression of a Sauternes wine

The property
The Château de Rayne Vigneau is located in the town of Bomme, overlooking the Sauternes appellation. Created in the 17th century, the estate has passed through the hands of several illustrious families such as the Pontac family, intimately linked to the great wines of Bordeaux. Today, the château belongs to the Trésor du Patrimoine group.

The vineyard
The Rayne-Vigneau vineyard covers some 84 hectares on a single hill overlooking the Sauternais. This vineyard rests on a mosaic of terroirs. On the heights, we find clay-gravel soils, while at lower altitudes, the vines are planted on clay-sandy soils with lacustrine limestone subsoils. The vineyard is managed using reasoned agriculture with intra-parcel management.

Blend
Sémillon (80%) and Sauvignon Blanc (20%).
