2014 vintage. As Sauternes suffers from a lethal combination of high production costs and low demand, it is about time we all start drinking more of it. The 2014 vintage combines a lot of botrytis with high acidity resulting in beautifully balanced wines that are very attractive young but should age beautifully for decades. Rabaud Promis has a long history (a lot of it in common with Sigalas Rabaud), but has been in the hands of the Dejean family for the last 4 generations. In early 2020 Jean Merlaut (Bordeaux négociant and owner of Gruaud Larose) took a majority share in Rabaud Promis, but Thomas Dejean remains the winemaker. And to judge from this terrific effort there is indeed no reason to change the winemaker. 80% Sémillon, 16% Sauvignon blanc and 4% Muscadelle. Brilliant golden yellow. Intoxicating complex perfume of fresh and dried fruits, flowers and subtle roasted flavours combined with an amazing lemony freshness. The mouth confirms this complexity with layers of concentrated fruit, balanced by crispy acidity and a knock-out brown sugar, lemon confit and noble rot "rôti" finish. It has amazing intensity while remaining light on its feet. Fabulous value at 28 euros! Abv. 12,6%. Note: these wines are much more versatile at the table than you think. While foie gras and blue cheese are classic combinations, I tried it today with veal, sautéed carrots and mushrooms and baked potatoes. Works really well. I invite you all to experiment with the culinary possibilities of these wines. — 5 years ago

Excellent with a spicy finish. Sweetness started to fade after 30 minutes or so. But every sip was delicious. — 8 years ago

Dark fruit, earthy and mineral with saline freshness and unusually light body but with significant tannin. Delicious! — 5 years ago

Big feral meaty nose on this. Still tannic all over. The cherries are a little underripe but we can watch them ripen from green till we pick them. The perfume is complex and big but the finish not so much. Would love to have had this about 5 years ago, but I’m curious about how it would be in 5 years. Drank while watching Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant. — 6 years ago

Uncomparable to anything I've drank before. Very savory and saline. Almost like drinking sea water. Acidity is medium. Not much on the citrus side but there are some almond notes. Interesting. — 8 years ago

Is it weird that this wine reminded me of two very different wines??: COS Ramí and Sigalas Assyrtiko. The nose was apricots, dried orange peels and waxy honey that reminded me of the Ramí, but the killer acidity and tension took me to the Assyrtiko. Really, really cool wine. Nice to see something from a more daring Chilean producer. — 9 years ago

Выпито 04.01.21 по приезду в Constance Moofushi на Мальдивы. Интересная комбинация совиньон блага и семильона 2015 года. Вино на пике зрелости. После естественной декантации ( в бутылке ) на завтра стало ещё нежнее. Понравилось. — 5 years ago

Oaky tangy tart. Very nice. Honeyed roundness up front but the acidity slices right through leaving a bit of minerality at the end. — 6 years ago

Wine tasting at Little Engine. The is the silver Pinot Noir that won last year’s Lieutenant General award. I’m critical of BC Pinot but this is on point. Savoury aromas. Dark and red cherry, figs, slight raspberry and cranberry notes followed by wet tea leaves and mild baking spices. — 6 years ago
