Château de Rayne-Vigneau stands in Bommes (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The château de Rayne-Vigneau stands in Bommes, in the heart of the Sauternes region, built in the 1860s by architect Louis-Michel Garros. Two round towers and a chapel flank a rectangular main building mixing neo-Renaissance, neo-Gothic and Louis XVI influences, a style typical of the Second Empire period. The chapel holds painted decoration from 1863 and stained glass from 1867, while the surrounding park, laid out in the landscape taste of its time, unfolds curved paths and groves around a kitchen garden set apart from the main grounds. The estate remains primarily a renowned vineyard, ranked first great growth of Sauternes.
