"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."
— Jeb Dunnuck

"The 2023 Rayne Vigneau is a wild, exotic Sauternes. Pear, jasmine, tropical fruit and hints of white truffle are some of the many aromas and flavors that give the 2023 its complex, wonderfully dynamic personality. Understated, airy and nuanced, Rayne Vigneau is compelling in 2023."
— Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The 2023 Château de Rayne-Vigneau has an intense nose that currently shows a bit of oak; that will be integrated with time. The palate is sorbet-fresh on the entry with tangy marmalade, peach and saffron notes. There is an undercurrent of stem ginger that lends a bit more complexity on the finish. Once the aromatics cohere, as I am sure they will, this will constitute a fine Sauternes. Give it four to five years once bottled."
— Neal Martin, Vinous
