Merchant's description

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. Chateau Rayas is now ably managed by Jacques` son François. The 2010 is a wonderfully concentrated vintage, with red fruit and liquorice notes and a warming 14% abv.
