About the Wine
Château Rayas is one of the most mythical names in French wine, known for its purity, rarity, and cult following. The white Châteauneuf-du-Pape is produced in tiny quantities, often overshadowed by the red but equally revered by connoisseurs for its complex evolution and oxidative depth.
The 1989 vintage is considered one of the best of the decade, with great ripeness and aging potential. Now mature, this wine expresses profound layers of dried stone fruits, nuts, beeswax, herbs, and a saline finish. A wine of contemplation.
⸻
Tasting Notes
Mature white Rhône aromatics: dried apricot, almond skin, honeycomb, lanolin, and white truffle. Rich and textured on the palate, with oxidative nuances balanced by freshness and minerality. Long, savory finish.
⸻
Recommended For
• Serious Rhône collectors
• Fans of mature white wines
• Sommeliers and private tastings
• Cellar centerpieces or verticals of Rayas
