Written Notes

The 1937 Château de Rayne-Vigneau is proof of the heights this Sauternes could achieve in this era. Wow! It rockets from the glass with potent dried honey, mandarin, beeswax and nutmeg aromas that manage to maintain outstanding delineation. The palate is extremely well balanced, the concentration far greater than the 1937 Guiraud served alongside. There is clearly ample botrytis here and it builds gloriously toward a viscous, persistent finish. Along with the 1959, this is the best old vintage of Rayne-Vigneau that I have tasted. Served blind at Domaine de Chevalier.

Tasted in April 2017. A blast from the past. At that time in '30s, this property was among the top wines in the district. This wine was rich, very much alive, had excellent sweetness and acidity, honeyed finish.

From a 0.75 bottle, deep amber color, fragile nose of raisins and sherry,

little sweetness remaining, orange zest and peach, light to medium body, , very

short finish, disappointing.Seems to be over the hill already.
