Château Rayas is one of the great names in French wine. Many connoisseurs consider it the finest in the appellation. It owes its originality to the sandy soils with a full north-facing exposure of the vineyard and to the use of whole-cluster harvesting to produce this Fine Wine aged in old barrels. The result is breathtaking: a wine of distinctly Burgundian elegance that quickly makes one forget the traditional Châteauneuf de Pape.
While the red Rayas is produced with 100% Grenache, the white Rayas is produced with Grenache Blanc and Clairette.
The second wine, always a Châteauneuf du Pape, is called "Pignan" and can also be considered one of the finest examples of the appellation.
Only small quantities are produced: 10,000 to 20,000 bottles of the first wine and, depending on the vintage, up to 12,000 bottles of the second wine.
Under the Côtes du Rhône appellation, the brands "Fonsalette" are produced in red (Grenache, Cinsaut and Syrah, as well as a pure Syrah) and in white (Grenache Blanc, Marsanne and Clairette), as well as "La Pialade", which share a common profile and the same winemaking approach as Rayas but are more approachable at a younger age.
