Critics Ratings

'A beautifully ripe wine, layering all the dense botrytis of the vintage with freshest acidity. It has weight, the texture of grainy honey, ripe yellow fruits, mango and orange zest. Impressive and certainly for aging.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 94/100 (Jun 2010)

'Simple, sweet, lemony and such depth and length.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Oct 2009)

'Tasted single blind against its peers. There is a little sulphur on the nose of the Sigalas-Rabaud 2007. It comes across as quite tight at the moment but it possesses good definition with touches of guava and dried pineapple. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine spicy entry, quite cohesive with honey, ginger and a touch of marmalade. With good length and persistency towards the finish, this is a very fine, mid-weight Sauternes.' - Neal Marin, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Jan 2011)
