Wine Description:
Château de Rayne Vigneau Sauternes (Premier Cru Classé) is a prestigious wine produced by the renowned Château de Rayne Vigneau, located in the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux, France. This wine is made from carefully hand-harvested grapes affected by the "noble rot" known as Botrytis Cinerea, which imparts unique flavors and aromas. The vineyard features well-drained soils and ideal microclimatic conditions that promote the development of Botrytis Cinerea. The winemaking process involves fermentation and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a luscious and complex wine with notes of honey, apricot, peach, and caramel. Château de Rayne Vigneau Sauternes is known for its exquisite sweetness, richness, and balance, making it a highly sought-after dessert wine that ages gracefully over the years. Its Premier Cru Classé status further reflects the wine's exceptional quality and distinction.

Château Coutet Cuvée Madame is a special release produced only in the very best years, coming from the property’s two oldest parcels of Sémillon. The average age of the vines on these plots is around 55 years. The selection process is painstaking as each grape is picked one-by-one by hand. Further sorting takes place at the wine press and damaged grapes are eliminated immediately. Alcohol fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels before it stops to retain sweetness, then the wine is aged in barrels for three years before bottling.
