Château Rayas is a leading producer in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region, known for its extraordinary wines. Pignan is a vineyard located adjacent to the famous Rayas vineyard and is also owned by the estate. The 1998 vintage was a strong year in the Southern Rhône, with wines displaying good structure and aging potential. On the nose, it reveals a lovely profile of ripe red and black fruits such as cherries, raspberries, and blackberries, complemented by notes of dried herbs, tobacco, leather, and earthy undertones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity and mature tannins.

Vinous
Medium red. Sappy, liqueur-like aromas of raspberry, red cherry and pepper, lifted by a floral quality. Lush, suave and mouthfilling, with wonderfully sweet flavors of peppery red fruits and iron. A faint porty quality contributes to its complexity. Finishes fruity and very long, with fine tannins and late notes of pepper and strawberry jam.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2001
