2006

Chateau Rayas is a historic winery located in the prestigious Chateauneuf-du-Pape region of France. Known for producing top-quality wines, the estate has been owned by the Reynaud family for generations.

The 2006 Chateau Rayas is a classic example of a fine Chateauneuf-du-Pape. This wine is made primarily from Grenache grapes, with smaller amounts of Mourvèdre and Syrah. It offers a bouquet of ripe cherry, blackberry, and plum, with hints of tobacco and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, with smooth tannins and a long, elegant finish. This vintage is drinking beautifully now, but has the potential to age gracefully for several more years.
