Critic reviews
"The 2024 Rayne-Vigneau has a relatively light bouquet that doesn't quite deliver the complexity of recent vintages, though it is clean with pleasant dried honey aromas. The palate is better, with ample weight, fine acidity and dried honey mixed with peach and marmalade notes that lead to a stem ginger-tinged finish. One of the more early-drinking vintages from Rayne-Vigneau, but it has class."
Neal Martin, April 2025, Vinous.com
"The 2024 Rayne Vigneau is a powerful, authoritative wine. Candied lemon peel, marzipan, dried flowers, mint and light tropical inflections fill out the layers. Rayne Vigneau offers terrific persistence, capped off with a slightly phenolic edge that adds quite a bit of character."
Antonio Galloni, April 2025, Vinous.com
"Spices, ginseng, sweet lemons and pineapple on the nose. Sweet and slightly saline, this has medium body and a waxy finish."
James Suckling, May 2025, JamesSuckling.com
"Marmalade, bitter orange, citrus, saffron, quince, liqourice root, enjoyable, luscious. 110g/l residual sugar, harvest from the 12th of October,"
Jane Anson, April 2025, JaneAnson.com
"Cask sample. Pale gold. Rich and concentrated on the palate, the sweetness emphatic. Less zesty than some this year but bitter, botrytised finish for balance. Will clearly age."
