Château Sigalas Rabaud, AOP Sauternes Premier Cru Classé 1855 (Bommes). 14 hectares on silico-gravelly Garonne deposits over clay, south-facing. Terra Vitis certification, HVE Level 3. Vines averaging 45 years of age. 85% Sémillon, 15% Sauvignon Blanc.

Hand-harvested in multiple selective passes from September through November, selecting only botrytis-affected grapes at optimal concentration. Aged approximately 20 months in oak barrels (one-third new).

El Château Sigalas Rabaud 2009 es un vino dulce de la denominación Sauternes, en la región de Burdeos, Francia. Producido por la bodega homónima, este Premier Cru Classé de 1855 procede de las parcelas de Bommes. La finca cuenta con 14 hectáreas de viñedo sobre suelos de gravas silico-arcillosas de origen garumniense sobre arcilla, orientadas al sur. La edad media de las vides es de 45 años y la finca posee certificación Terra Vitis con nivel HVE 3.

La composición de la uva es de un 85% de Sémillon y un 15% de Sauvignon Blanc. La vendimia es manual y selectiva, realizada en sucesivas pasadas entre septiembre y noviembre para recolectar únicamente granos infectados por Botrytis cinerea en su punto óptimo. La elaboración incluye una crianza de aproximadamente 20 meses en barrica de roble, un tercio de la cual es nueva.

Según la guía Parker, el 2009 es un vino de 95 puntos, descrito como sensacional. El crítico destaca un bouquet intenso de membrillo, cáscara de naranja y almendra, con un matiz de miel más ligero que sus pares. En boca se presenta con un cuerpo medio y gran viscosidad. Es un Sauternes atrevido que busca marcar la diferencia, aunque no alcanza la complejidad o el refinamiento de Yquem o Suduiraut. Lo describe como muy sereno y quizá guardándose algo para más adelante, con una recomendación de consumo desde ahora hasta 2040. James Suckling le otorga 92 puntos.

El vino se perfila como una expresión afirmativa y viscosa de su añada, con un carácter definido que promete una larga evolución.

PARKER: 95

The Sigalas Rabaud was sensational out of barrel and served blind, the wine does nothing to dispel my initial optimism that this is the apogee for the estate – so far. It is bestowed with an intense bouquet of quince, orange zest and almond with a lighter touch of honey compared to its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with great viscosity. This is an assertive Sauternes that wants to make an impression, although it does not display the complexity or breeding of Yquem and Suduiraut. Still, it is very composed and perhaps is saving something up for later, biding its time as it were. This is a wondrous wine. Drink now-2040.

The property can be traced to 1660, when it belonged to the de Cazeau family. The last of that line sold Rabaud in 1819 to Gabriel Deyme, who was the owner when the 1855 classification was drawn up.

In 1863 it was bought by Henri Drouilhet de Sigalas, who added his surname to it. He also bought Château Pexoto, ten hectares classified as a deuxième cru in that same 1855, and absorbed it: a classified growth that vanished as a name by being folded into another.

The decisive moment came in 1903. Pierre-Gaston de Sigalas, Henri's only son, sold the greater part of the estate to Adrien Promis — from which Château Rabaud-Promis was born — and kept only the even southern slope, which is the property today. He sold the larger half and kept the better one.

The result is fourteen and a quarter hectares, usually cited as the smallest premier cru in Sauternes. Planted with 85% sémillon, 14% sauvignon blanc and 1% muscadelle.
