1998 Chateau Rayas Reserve CDP - 93 Pts!

Château Rayas is a leading producer in the Chateauneuf-du-Pape Wine appellation of the Rhône Valley. It is one of the region's most prestigious estates, and its wines fetch some of the highest prices in southern France.

Much about Rayas is unusual. Firstly, the estate's red wine is made solely from Grenache, unlike most Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines that typically contain Syrah, Mourvèdre and a range of other varieties. Secondly, the 13 hectares (32 acres) of vineyards face north, and do not have any galets roulés, the rounded stones so closely associated with the appellation. Thirdly, the estate's wines are matured in rare double-piéce 450-liter barrels.

Wine Spectator WS 93 - 1998 Chateau Rayas Reserve CDP - 93 Pts! This continues to evolve, and always benefits from a lot of air time in the glass (or decanter), which allows its lilting, perfumy aromas and light color to become more concentrated and darker. Cherry, rose petal, pine forest, spice and mineral notes hang on the supple frame with deceptive grip on the finish.--1998 Chateauneuf-du-Pape retrospective. Drink now through 2017. 1,250 cases made.
