Château Sigalas Rabaud, First Classified Growth 1855, belongs to the Sauternes AOC. It is the result of hard and precise work on “the jewel of Sigalas” , the 14 Ha vineyard in sustainable viticulture. A demanding, manual bay-by-bay selection of pure botrytis cinerea from September to November gives the immense complexity of the great Sigalas Rabaud. Created in the 19th century by the Sigalas Family, this great wine never ceases to amaze with its aromatic richness, its beautiful silky robe and its length in the mouth.
With an enticing nose of dried apricots, hazelnuts that are complimented by linden notes. A beautiful structure with a delicious structure, finishes with a touch of salinity and exotic notes.
98 James Suckling This is intense and compact with lots of mushroom, ginseng, lemon grass, dried lemon peel, tangerine, clove and white chocolate. Green mango, too. Complex and layered. Sweet, but with a savory edge and fantastic freshness. The sweetness is hidden by the botrytis power. Extremely long.
94 Decanter Lively and exciting on the palate, this has energy and so much appeal in the delivery of sugary sweetness, lemon zest and spiced edges. I love the playful nature, it's quite linear and direct at the moment, less expansive than some others, taut and focused but with good power, direction and detail. Will be nice to retaste in bottle.
