The light gold colored 2017 Château Sigalas Rabaud is a honeyed, sweetly fruited, full-bodied Sauternes that offers classic tropical fruits, peach, and caramelized pineapple aromas and flavors. It has terrific botrytis character, a big texture, yet the freshness and purity that’s the hallmark of this vintage.

Échantillon réducteur. Bouche à l’avenant sur l’attaque, malgré une très belle et importante liqueur rare sur le cru. Il a surtout besoin de temps. Pour le moment, tout est concentré dans la finale.

The 2017 Sigalas Rabaud offers good depth, but is also a bit rough around the edges. It will be interesting to see if the 2017 finds a bit more finesse during its aging. The lemon confit, floral and lightly tropical notes are finely sketched, although a touch of angularity remains. Even so, this is nicely done.

The 2017 Sigalas-Rabaud is primal and missing the same delineation as its peers on the nose. The palate is much better with intense botrytized fruit, spicier than say Suduiraut or Rayne-Vigneau and it fans out with a sense of confidence and brio towards the finish with a dash of ginger on the aftertaste. This has great potential but it will need time to really enter its stride.

The 2017 Sigalas Rabaud is a little cedary to begin, giving way to a good core of spiced pears and warm peaches notes with hints of honeysuckle and chanterelle mushrooms. The palate is wonderfully crisp, lifting the decadent richness, finishing long and fruity.

Laure has been selecting only the best plots for this wine for several years, increasing production of her dry whites elsewhere in the vineyard. This has a spicy white pear flavour on the attack, followed by quince and citrus, and white pepper on the finish. Lovely balance with real personality, no problems with acidity here.

par James Suckling le 06/04/2018

A fresher style with dried apples, mangoes and honey that follow through to a medium body, sweet undertones and a crisp finish.

Wine Spectator

par James Molesworth le 04/04/2018

A bright, high-pitched style, with fig, pear and green almond notes that are quite backward now but show length and zip as they pick up honeysuckle and white ginger accents on the finish. An interesting wine in the making.—J.M.
