An estate with a formidable reputation for creating some of the world`s finest Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Until his death in 1997, the winemaking was overseen by the famous Jacques Reynaud who favoured the use of low-yielding Grenache vines to create fantastically rich, luscious wines. Château Rayas is now ably managed by Jacques` son François.

90 Vinous
Good deep red. Deeper aromas of black cherry, raspberry, pepper and licorice. Broad-shouldered but very closed, showing less sweetness today than the `96 Pignan. Red fruit flavors complicated by notes of leather, licorice and herbs. Strong acid/tannin backbone for aging. But tough going today.Stephen Tanzer1st January 1999
