TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

(aged for 16 months in old foudres): Vivid ruby-red. Expressive aromas of raspberry, cherry compote and candied flowers are lifetd by a mineral topnote. Gently sweet and focused on the palate, offering vibrant red fruit flavors that deepend and spread out slowly with air. Shows hints of smokiness and allspice on the very long, penetrating finish, which features smooth tannins and an exotic, refreshingly bitter touch of blood orange. Josh Raynolds, Vinous

Chateau Rayas

Château Rayas was purchased by Emmanuel’s grandfather, Albert Reynaud, in 1880; it was made famous by Jacques and his father, Louis, a pioneer in the appellation. Even today, visiting Rayas is like taking a trip back in time; the estate did not even have electricity until the late 1980s. Emmanuel continues in the traditional style, while moving forward as the heralded winemaker of one of the world’s most sought-after wines. Here, in addition to creating the wines of Château Rayas, Emmanuel also produces Pignan, expressing a different approach to this unique terrior. Composed of three separate vineyards — Le Couchant, Le Levant and Le Coeur — Château Rayas occupies one of the most unique sites in the world. The estate is surrounded by towering pine trees (pignan in French) that monitor the airflow into the vineyards, and the vines are planted in very fine sand that regulates their temperature and maintains humidity around the roots. This seemingly magical sand creates its very own microclimate — and exceptionally elegant wines. Emmanuel does not revel in the fame and notoriety that come with making such sought-after and acclaimed wines, but he continues to carry the mantle of his famous forebears, producing hauntingly aromatic wines at his three estates: Château Rayas, Château des Tours and Château de Fonsalette.
