Château Rayas - Châteauneuf du Pape Pignan 2010

The history of Château Rayas begins in 1880 , when the former notary Albert Reynaud acquired plots of vines. His son, Louis Reynaud, continued the adventure by directly bottling the production for sale. In the 1930s , he bought Château des Tours , followed by Château de Fonsalette in 1945 . Since 1997, Emmanuel Reynaud has managed the three farms, revitalizing the vineyard while respecting the Rayas spirit: very ripe Grenaches, vinified from whole harvests and aged in old tuns.

Château Rayas is one of the largest French wine estates , recognized as the jewel of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. Its characterful wines improve intensely with age, offering a unique taste experience.
