Château Rayas 2012 is one of the iconic wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, known for its unique style, finesse and outstanding ageing potential.
Made mainly from Grenache grown on sandy soils and aged in old large casks to preserve the purity of the fruit, it offers a complex palette of ripe red fruit, gentle spice, floral notes and a hint of forest floor. A balanced vintage with great freshness and a silky texture.

Serving and storing Château Rayas 2012
Serve Château Rayas at 16 to 17 °C in a large red wine glass. About an hour in a decanter helps the wine open up. Store the bottle lying down, away from light, at around 12 to 14 °C with humidity close to 70%.
Food pairing
Its finesse calls for delicate cooking: herb-crusted rack of lamb, roast poultry, pigeon, feathered game or mushroom risotto. Avoid heavily spiced sauces that would mask the purity of the Grenache.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Château Rayas so unique?
The estate grows Grenache on very sandy, cool soils surrounded by woodland, far from the powerful style of the appellation. The result is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape of rare finesse, often compared to great Burgundy.
Who makes Château Rayas?
The estate has belonged to the Reynaud family for several generations. Emmanuel Reynaud ran it for nearly thirty years.
