Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rayas 1997 is a Grenache-dominant red wine from the esteemed Château Rayas. Situated on a distinct plot characterised by its north-facing exposure and surrounded by pine trees, Rayas benefits from a microclimate that contributes to the wine`s signature style. The 1997 vintage was vinified exclusively in old oak foudres. The wine reveals aromas of wild strawberry and herbs, with a refined palate that embodies the honeyed sweetness of ripe fruit and delicate acidity, culminating in a persistent finish.

Full red. Spicy aromas of framboise, leather and pepper; very rich but fresher than the Pignan. Thick but lively on the palate; very suave and rich. Not nearly as open today as the above. Peppery finish displays excellent persistence. This is very strong for the vintage.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2000
