Vincent Labergere

Coming Up

At Château Rayne-Vigneau in Bommes, France, Vincent Laberg works across direction, management and winemaking, a three-part remit that keeps the estate’s decisions tied to both site and cellar. The role sits inside one of Bordeaux’s closely watched sweet-wine properties, where pace is measured and the work depends on patience, instinct and exact attention rather than display. The estate asks for a broad view and a technical one at the same time. As Director, Manager and Winemaker, Vincent Laberg balances oversight of the whole property with the practical discipline of shaping the wine itself. That combination matters at a place with deep roots in Bommes: the vineyard, the cellar and the expectations attached to Château Rayne-Vigneau all sit inside the same frame.

Where They Are Now

Stewardship defines Vincent Laberg’s current position at Château Rayne-Vigneau. The work is one of steady control, with enough restraint to let the estate, the vineyard and the vintage show their own character. In a category that can lean on grandeur, his manner reads as measured: a contemporary approach applied to a name with a long memory.

In Their Words “It takes a bit of craziness to make Sauternes.” The line speaks plainly to the demands of the style. Sauternes requires commitment, nerve and a tolerance for uncertainty, and Vincent Laberg’s wording leaves room for all three. The remark carries wit, but it also names the practical reality behind the category: this is work that asks for discipline while making space for risk.
