Note di degustazione
This bottle was my own contribution to the evening’s entertainment, purchased from the excellent Comptoir Vignobles shop in St. Emilion in tip-top condition. It has the deepest colour of three Sauternes ‘47s that were tasted alongside each other. The nose has a Barsac-like adhesive note with touches of chlorine infusing the rich tangy marmalade aromas. The palate is very well-balanced with that marmalade and honey note continuing. There is plenty of botrytis, although to be frank, there is not the verve of sophistication of the ’59 tasted just a few days earlier. The alcohol is not quite as controlled as the Climens ’47 on the finish, but it remains a tangy delight. Tasted April 2013.

Informazioni sul produttore
The 1855 classification placed Ch. de Rayne Vigneau just behind Ch. d’Yquem – also a nearby neighbour. Its 84-hectare vineyard sits in a single block on gravel mounds, overlooking the Ciron in Sauternes, and producing impressive sweet wines.
