Devon Magee, JJ Buckley, January 2012

80% semillon and 20% sauvignon blanc. Expressive and seductive on the nose with tropical citrus notes and orange blossom nectar. Focused and dense on the palate with a tart freshness. Layered, orange liqueur notes of Cointreau add depth and gravity. This dense, ripe Sauternes is lovely and rich now, and will certainly improve over the next decade and more.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2010

The 2009 Rayne-Vigneau is one of the stars of the vintage. It has a very well defined, almost understated nose with white peach, apricot and lime leaf: very pretty and succinct. The palate is very well balanced, beautifully defined with real minerality showing through the viscous, botrytized fruit. Great tension here, effortlessly counterbalancing the richness to perfection.

Wine Spectator, March 2012

This packs in some seriously dense creamed fig, pear and yellow apple fruit liberally laced with marzipan, heather honey and candied citrus peel. Rich and spicy through the finish, with great energy. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Best from 2014 through 2030. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. -JM
