VINUM: "Ungemein frischer Duft, viel Floralität; kraftvoller Gaumen, ölige Textur, Topsäurerückgrat, sehr schöne Länge, Dörraprikosen im Finale. Zeigt viel Harmonie."

JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2023 Château de Rayne Vigneau is healthy deep golden hue with a solid bouquet of caramelized pineapple, orange zest, and spicy wood. This carries to a medium to full-bodied Sauternes with a supple, nicely balanced mouthfeel, good acidity, and outstanding length."

DECANTER: "A lovely Sauternes with acacia, honeysuckle, lemon cake and sweet pepper and ginger, very expressive and with vivacity and richness, although I get more of the latter, with plenty of crème brulée opulence. 160 grams of residual sugar per litre."

FALSTAFF: "Helles Goldgelb, silberfarbene Reflexe. Frisches Steinobst, Noten von gelbem Pfirsich, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, kraftvoll, aber nicht opulent, weiße Frucht, integrierte Süße, feiner Säurebogen, ausgewogen und gut anhaftend, gelungener Jahrgangsvertreter."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Cask sample. Golden hue. Rich and pure on the nose. Lots of botrytis character. Sweet and again pure on the palate. Long and persistent. Good potential. Drink 2027 – 2048."

JAMES SUCKLING: "There’s spice, botrytis, dried-apple and orange-peel character. Medium-bodied, sweet and refined. Not the richest example, but there’s purity to it."
