The 2017 Rayne-Vigneau has been on a roll of late and this latest release has bags of potential. It has a well-defined, quite intense bouquet with perfumed yellow plum and acacia honey aromas wafting from the glass. The palate is very fresh on the entry with crisp acidity. This feels very pure and full of tension, conveying wonderful energy on the honeyed finish with blood orange on the aftertaste. Superb.
92-93 James Suckling – jamessuckling.com (Maart 2018)
A very sweet center palate to this medium- to full-bodied Sauternes, which shows dried-pineapple and -mango character. Hints of spices and dried fruit on the finish.
17-18/20 Julia Harding MW – jancisrobinson.com (April 2018)
Plenty of spiced apricot on the nose. Power and rich viscosity on the palate. Finishes very sweet, a bit like boiled sweets (hard candy). Needs time to integrate.
91-94 Jeb Dunnuck – jebdunnuck.com (April 2018)
A rich, powerful Sauternes, the 2017 Château de Rayne Vigneau sports a slightly deeper gold color as well as a ripe, honeyed, pedal-to-the-metal bouquet of caramelized white fruits, brioche, and spice. Thick, powerful, and opulent on the palate, it’s another impressive sweet wine from the vintage. |
