Description

The 1994 vintage in Bordeaux was challenging, however, Sauternes estates like Château Rayne-Vigneau have an advantage in such vintages. The 1994 Château Rayne-Vigneau Sauternes should exhibit a rich golden hue, complex aromas of honey, apricot, peach, dried fruits, marmalade, caramel, and exotic spices. The palate is lusciously sweet with a velvety texture and a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. The finish is long and lingering, offering a beautifully nuanced and elegant drinking experience.

Serving and Food pairing
The ideal serving temperature is usually around 10-12°C. Sauternes pairs excellently with a variety of foods due to its rich sweetness and vibrant acidity. Pair with blue cheese, foie gras and fruit desserts. It is also a great pairing to spicy Asian or Indian cuisine as the sweetness of the wine balances the heat in such dishes. Vintage Sauternes may throw a white crystal deposit which is a sign of quality.

Château Rayne-Vigneau is a prestigious wine estate located in the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux, France. It is renowned for producing exceptional sweet white wines, primarily from the Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grape varieties, affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). The estate has a long history dating back several centuries, with records indicating viticulture on the property as far back as the 17th century. Château Rayne-Vigneau's vineyards benefit from the unique microclimate of Sauternes, characterized by morning mists from the Ciron River and warm, sunny afternoons, which are conducive to the development of terroir driven Sauternes.
