The legendary great wine of Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Château Rayas wines: purchase at the best price!
Emmanuel Reynaud succeeded his uncle Jacques, who passed away suddenly in 1997, at the helm of Château Rayas. He produces the most legendary wines of southern France. The red is an atypical 100% Grenache. It owes its singularity to the sandy, north-facing soils of the vineyard and the use of whole-cluster fermentation to craft this refined wine aged in old foudres. The result is breathtaking: a wine with Burgundian elegance that quickly makes one forget the traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape canons. The white is also of the same vein. Made with Grenache Blanc and Clairette, it needs time to develop. Fans of Emmanuel Reynaud's wines can also turn to the Côtes-du-Rhône from Château de Fonsalette, which have the advantage of presenting a similar profile to Rayas but accessible at a younger age.
