Varietal

Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc

Originating in Bordeaux, this blend is celebrated for its unique attributes. Semillon contributes a luscious texture, richness, and the potential for age-worthy complexity, especially when affected by noble rot. On the other hand, Sauvignon Blanc adds vibrant acidity, zesty citrus flavors, and herbaceous notes, providing a refreshing and aromatic quality.

Producers worldwide, from Bordeaux to regions in Australia and beyond, have embraced this blend, showcasing its versatility and ability to express different terroirs.

Appellation

Sauternes

Sauternes, a revered appellation within Bordeaux, France, is celebrated for producing the world's finest sweet wines. What makes Sauternes unique is its climatic conditions, ideal for the development of Botrytis cinerea, or noble rot. This benevolent fungus shrivels the grapes, concentrating sugars and flavors, resulting in lusciously sweet and complex wines. Predominantly crafted from Sémillon, with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle playing supporting roles, Sauternes wines exhibit opulent flavors of honey, apricot, and tropical fruits. The region's microclimates, terroir variations, and meticulous vineyard management contribute to the diversity of styles within the appellation. Châteaux like d'Yquem epitomize Sauternes' excellence, and the wines often require patience, aging gracefully for decades. The intricate dance of sweetness, acidity, and botrytis characterizes Sauternes, offering a unique tasting experience and showcasing the artistry of Bordeaux winemaking. Exploring Sauternes provides wine enthusiasts with a profound understanding of the magic that noble rot imparts to create these extraordinary dessert wines.

Wine Enthusiast

92-94 Barrel Sample. There is a bitter orange-marmalade disposition here. It gives a sense of dryness to the otherwise sweet and sour character of this balanced wine. It is perfumed and likely to age well.

Jeb Dunnuck

A heavenly Sauternes that shows the richness and opulence of the vintage, the 2015 Château Sigalas Rabaud offers up a beautiful bouquet of caramelized citrus, honeyed flowers, and crème caramel. This is followed by a full-bodied, deep, hedonistic white that stays beautifully balanced and pure, with nicely integrated acidity. You can safely open a bottle anytime over the coming 15-20 years or more.

WA 93pts

Wine Advocate

Pale lemon colored, the 2015 Sigalas Rabaud gives up gregarious notes of fresh pineapple, pink grapefruit and lemon pie with touches of nutmeg, ginger and cedar. Rich, opulent, lively and layered, the palate offers incredible poise and depth, finishing with fantastic tension and persistence.

WS 92pts

Wine Spectator

Juicy and bright, with jasmine and acacia notes framing a core of yellow apple, peach and nectarine flavors. A pretty green tea hint adds vigor to the finish. This is sneaky good. Best from 2020 through 2037. 1,500 cases made.

JS 92pts

James Suckling

A lush, toasty wine with a lot of honey and caramel, this is a full-throttle, full-bodied Sauternes that lacks some subtlety but has plenty to offer. With more freshness this would have rated more highly. Drink or hold.

DC 92pts

Decanter

Fresh, nimble nose, with an alluring blend of citric and oaky aromas. Medium-bodied but graceful, stylish and very fresh, showing both precision and restraint. Reticent now, but balanced and long. Drinking Window 2021 - 2040.
