Producteur: Rayas


Cette verticale de Rayas avait au programme quatre millésimes de ce grand Châteauneuf, qui étaient comparés aux autres vins produits par Emmanuel Reynaud, neveu du légendaire Jacques Reynaud, à qui il a succédé en 1997.

Rayas est un châteauneuf du pape très particulier, entièrement à base de grenache,  produit dans la partie septentrionale de l'appellation, sur des sols sablonneux dépourvus des fameux galets. C'est un vin de grande finesse et élégance, d'une complexité remarquable même en jeunesse.

Sur le millésime 2004, le Rayas était comparé au Fonsalette, un Côte du Rhône que la famille Reynaud produit sur une vigne située à une quarantaine de kilomètres au nord de Rayas, ainsi qu'au Barbe Rac, de Chapoutier, un autre châteauneuf entièrement à base de grenache.

Sur le millésime 2005, Rayas et Fonsalette étaient comparés au Château de Pignan, autre châteauneuf du pape produit par la Emmanuel Reynaud, qui n'est pas le deuxième vin de Rayas car il est produit à partir de parcelles différentes, situées en proximité de celles du grand vin, même si plusieurs experts doutent que dans les chais de Rayas il y ait une certaine promiscuité entre les cuves qui viennent embouteillées avec l'étiquette de Pignan et celles qui donnent le vin de Rayas.

Malheureusement, la dégustation a commencé sur un faux pas, la bouteille de Rayas 2001 étant défectueuse. Nous nous sommes alors repliés sur l'excellent 2003, qui faisait preuve d'une grande finesse malgré la chaleur du millésime.

Dans le volet des 2004, il n'y a pratiquement jamais eu de lutte entre les vins. Rayas a remporté cette comparaison à l'aveugle à l'unanimité avec 14 votes sur 14.

Les surprises sont arrivées dans le troisième volet, alors qu'une majorité des membres du panel a préféré le vin #3, croyant qu'il s'agisse du Rayas. Hélas, c'était son petit frère, le Pignan. Le vrai Rayas trônait dans le verre #1 et il se distinguait nettement par sa jeunesse et sa pureté de fruit remarquable. Il faut dire, toutefois, que le Pignan avait un caractère très évocateur de ce que Rayas peut donner après quelques années de bouteille. Finalement, un bon mot pour le Fonsalette, un des Côtes du Rhône génériques les plus chers sur le marché, mais qui est d'une qualité irréprochable.


 

 

Châteauneuf du Pape 2003, Château Rayas
Rubis-grenat, saturation moyenne. Superbe nez, offrant un très beau mélange floral-épicé, très typique de Rayas, avec des notes de griotte, de cèdre, de liqueur d'herbes, quelque nuancées faisandées, très complexe. La bouche est suave, d'une belle chair, dodue, harmonieuse, avec des saveurs de griotte acidulée, de prune fraîche, d'épices, de réglisse, d'herbes, beaucoup de finesse, d'élégance et une étonnante fraîcheur pour un 2003. Vraiment très réussi!

Châteauneuf du Pape 2005, Château Rayas
Rubis, bonne saturation. Le nez offre un caractère surprenant, mettant de l'avant une pureté de fruit remarquable, sur des notes de cerise juteuse, de belle fraîcheur, évolue lentement mais très positivement, acquérant éventuellement une subtile fraîcheur florale épicée plus caractéristique de Rayas. La bouche est ample, de belle matière, avec un très beau fruit de cerise, mûre, juteuse, des accents de lavande, herbes provençales, épices, poivre, des tannins très fins, polis et une longue finale de cerise et d'épices. Sublime!

Châteauneuf du Pape 2005, Château Pignan
Rubis, bonne saturation, reflets grenat. Discret, fin, avec des arômes de cèdre, d'épices, finement poivré, complexe, évolue très bien dans le verre et gagne des fines nuances florales. Bouche élégante, épicée, poivrée, très provençale, avec une trame soyeuse qui se  resserre en arrière palais, bonne finale vaporeuse aux nuances épicées.

During our uncertain financial periods I am looking for a sign of hope. Perhaps the goverment will aid the American nation like they did with the banks.

An objective without a goodapproach is merely a fantasy in my honest opinion

There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also. Keep working ,great job!

This web site is a complete world wide web resource for this. You'll find all you wanted or needed to know, here. kpmppgqkisdcdouhifvvpdjmtnslgfxmzgr

Fitness and weight loss does not have to be boring. Joining dance classes and even competitions are a great way to get your cardio. I’ll have to check out Cal. Thanks!

Ich kann glauben, dass das schon gut ist. Naja kann Jeder es für zu seinem eigenen überlegen wie man sich entscheidet!

Many people don’t understand the effects misleading effects. I knew what you meant. It can be more effective to give people little opinion with facts here. I recognize this problem but with little clue, so we must face the topic together. With new assurance, we hope that the skill of other categories can be found together. Nice people can work with great people, and great resource is important for us in analyzing the case. I’ve studied for more than 4 years to analyze them, but the fact still can’t be discovered. In order to do that, we must deal with the changes of management resources. With so many resources here, we can develop new ideas for solving to problem. Let’s give opinion, let’s discuss them, we can take charge with our resources. The last one but not least, I support your analyzes to face new one. With many resources that we can collect, all of them can be handled well.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Then finally a great writing about the subject, continue the great work and thus I wish to examine more within you in the near future.

I was sleeping and I remember waking up and I felt really anxious and my breathing was really weird (I've had a panic attack once before when I was little and it felt like that but I felt really anxious and kept moving around). Is it feasible that it was a panic attack or panic and anxiety attack? (Is an anxiety attack and an anxiety attack two different things or the same?) The information you provide here is very valuable - thank you.

Hey, great write-up. Nothing like them lovehandles! With my body, I have discovered the only way to kill those nagging handles is to simply get my entire body fat percentage to under 10%.

ihome by far. they usually run for around 99 bucks and they work like a charm. dual alarm clocks, radio, presets, everything. its acctually on the cheaper end of ipod speaker docks and it does everything wonderfully. it would be exactly the thing youre looking for. also all newer models come with the remotes. even though they have cheaper ones look for the ones between 90 and 150 dollars. they are the best for compatability

Do cardio and eat healthy (cut out the junk food). This is more of a lifestyle. Its not something you can do for a week and expect to be on the cover of men's health. It will take time but you will see results.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

1st For the price of wholesale, you get Fake Handbags Online at a very low cost, are sold at a price far below its initial price, it still gives you a good profit. With the economic crisis in the world, people are always looking for discounts or the lowest price and thereby satisfied the wholesale handbags to your customers, because they feel they make a purchase reduction.

You can also create their tracks in the bag as your name or initials of a selected pattern on their own brand . Do you think that the crystals skins in the leather or exotic?
