The estate's unique terroir, famously scattered with semi-precious stones, yields a wine of profound elegance and concentration. Produced exclusively from hand-harvested grapes touched by Noble Rot (Botrytis Cinerea), it offers an unforgettable tasting experience.<\/p>\n<h2>Flavour Profile &amp; Winemaking<\/h2>\n<p>The main component is S\u00e9millon for body and lusciousness, blended with Sauvignon Blanc to maintain vital freshness, and a small percentage of Muscadelle.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Colour:<\/strong> A dazzling deep gold, deepening to a burnished amber with bottle age.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aromatics:<\/strong> The nose is highly expressive, featuring intense notes of honey, apricot preserve, marmalade, and exotic fruits (pineapple, passion fruit), underpinned by hints of spice and orange peel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Taste:<\/strong> Velvety and full-bodied on the palate, the wine\u2019s natural sweetness is beautifully cut by a vibrant, fresh acidity. This excellent balance prevents it from being cloying, leading to an elegant, powerful, and exceptionally long finish with lingering notes of citrus zest and spice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Food Pairing &amp; Serving<\/h2>\n<p>This Grand Cru is best served cool (8-11\u00b0C). While traditionally paired with Foie Gras, its complexity allows it to shine with a variety of dishes, from a classic Sunday Roast to sharp blue cheeses and fruit-based desserts.<\/p>\n<p>Sauternes 1997<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/winetorres.com\/en\/?s=Ch\u00e2teau%20de%20Rayne-Vigneau&#038;post_type=product\">Find other wines from this producer.<\/a><\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Premier Grand Cru Class\u00e9 de Sauternes (1855).
