Reynaud's masterful touch shows in every sip. Wild cherry and violet unfold with seamless elegance, while smoke and pepper weave through the core. Concentrated yet graceful, with polished tannins that suggest decades ahead. Drinking wonderfully now through extended cellaring.

Château Rayas

Château Rayas is the most mythologized estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, producing pure Grenache of startling finesse from old vines on sandy, sheltered soils. Its wines age for decades and routinely redefine what the appellation can be.
