CHÂTEAU RAYAS
With the passing of great Jacques Reynaud in 1997, the '95 maybe the last truly profound Rayas as well as the last made under his careful eye. The organized chaos and irregular containers of Reynaud's cellar combined the synergy of an old world artist and of a mad scientist with his own internal formulas to take the risks necessary to make a distinctive and great wine. Extremely low yields allow only 3,000 cases to be made from a 37 acre estate, with 2,000 of these being Rayas Rouge and the remainder Pignan and Rayas Blanc.
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château Rayas--Vintage 1989
Rhône
Excellent appearance and levels
"Open knit, mature, weak pink rim; almost over-sweet, mulberry-ripe fruit; sweet, lovely, though dry finish. At the Paolo Pong tasting at Jancis Robinson's, May 2001 *****" MB, Vintage Wine
