Score 86-87/100 · Robert Parker, Feb 1999

The 1997 Rayas Chateauneuf du Pape blanc exhibits a peach-like character, but there are more apricot liqueur notes in addition to sherry-like aspects. The wine possesses good fruit flavors, medium body, and a slightly eccentric personality. Importers: Martine's Wines, San Rafael, CA; tel.

Chateau Rayas

Ch. Rayas is a cult name in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The wines – pure, silken expressions of Grenache with distinctive perfume – are revered for their singularity and fiercely collected. Made by Emmanuel Reynaud and renowned for their ageability, they have become some of the region's most sought-after.
