Blending - 83% Semillon, 17% Sauvignon

Château Sigalas Rabaud has been in the Sigalas family since 1863 and through six generations. It is perfectly situated on a small hill overlooking Chateau d’Yquem, just 500 metres away. With just fourteen hectares, it is the smallest of all the premier cru classé Sauternes properties. Vineyard plantings consist of 85% Semillon and 15% Sauvignon.
The current generation, Laure de Lambert Compeyrot and her son, Jean Compeyrot have great drive and determination to promote these special wines to a new audience. The second wine ‘Lieutenant de Sigalas’ is delightful, with a lovely floral character and rich, honeyed fruit.
