FEATURES

🏰 The 2016 vintage in the Southern Rhône is generally considered a good year. Rayas' Chateau des Tours Vacqueyras Rouge 2016 is a compelling value that captures Emmanuel Reynaud's unmistakable magic. This wine, made from 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah from the oldest parcels, offers savory complexity and aromatic lift. It boasts a full-bodied profile with velvety tannins and a flavorful finish, possessing the pedigree and structure to age for another 15–20 years in a cool cellar. 【 Captures Emmanuel Reynaud's unmistakable magic at a fraction of the price of his flagship estate 】. 🍴 This robust red wine is an excellent pairing for roast leg of lamb, duck confit, grilled ribeye, venison, slow-braised beef, or other gamey meats, braised dishes, steak, and red sauce. 🥂 Ideal for a dinner party featuring robust meat dishes, a special family meal, or a tasting focused on powerful yet elegant Southern Rhône reds.

BACKGROUND

Château Rayas is a leading producer in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the Rhône Valley, France. It is one of the region's most prestigious estates, and its wines fetch some of the highest prices in southern France. The estate covers 22 hectares, with 15 hectares dedicated to vineyards. Most of their vines are planted to Grenache. The estate's red wine is made solely from Grenache. The château's white Châteauneuf-du-Pape is generally made from Grenache Blanc and Clairette in roughly equaly proportions. Château Rayas has been in the Reynaud family since the 1880s.
