Château Rayas undoubtedly sits amongst the greatest producers of Châteauneuf-du-Pape but is often also considered of equal stature to First Growth Bordeaux or Grand Cru Burgundy such is the quality of the wine produced by the Reynaud family from their 12 hectares of vines. Rayas is made from 100% Grenache from low yielding vines and is aged in a combination of seasoned demi-muids and foudres of various sizes for an average of 16 months prior to bottling. The 2004 is now prime for drinking with its beautifully silky texture and alluring notes of sweet berry fruits, spring flowers, leather, spice and earth.

Medium red. Stunning floral and red berry aromas emphasize raspberry, strawberry and fresh lavender. Bright, focused and pure, with vibrant red fruit and mineral flavors given an exotic twist by a hint of dried apricot. The sweet finish leaves a strong floral pastille impression. The freshness and precision of this wine are really captivating.Josh Raynolds1st January 2007
