The Châteauneuf-du-Pape Pignan Rayas 2010 exemplifies the estate`s commitment to quality and tradition. Hailing from Château Rayas, known for its uncharacteristic sandy soils and absence of galets roulés, this cuvée is primarily Grenache, with a smaller proportion of Mourvèdre. The Pignan vineyard, adjacent to the main holdings, is regarded as the estate`s second wine. The 2010 vintage features concentrated notes of red fruit, subtle spice and herbal notes typical of the garrigue landscape.
100 Vinous
The 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve knocks it out of the park with rosewater, kirsch, garrigue, tobacco, white pepper, melted licorice and a flicker of ivy. On the full-bodied palate, rich flavor concentration is masterfully balanced by vibrant freshness, resulting in a sensation of complete harmony. What’s so striking about this Rayas is how it lays bare all its strength without flexing a single muscle. The detailed, finesse-driven finish lingers for over two minutes, confirming the 2010 as one of the finest vintages ever produced here. This particular bottle was opened four hours in advance, without decanting. For those eager to experience this unique Rayas ahead of my suggested drinking window, I strongly recommend this approach, as decanting may cause it to close down. For readers disciplined enough to wait a few more years, the magic starts in 2030.Nicolas Greinacher1st November 2024
