Château Rayas | France | Rhône - Meriodanales |
Vineyard | The terroir of Rayas consists of 15 different parcels found in three different vineyards: Le Couchant, Le Coeur and Levant. The vineyards have a strongly sandy soil and are protected all around by trees. The sand has a deep red color and has a very fine grain. Pignan is made from the northern vineyards and young vines. |

Vinification | The Reynaud family's cellars harbor much tradition. The best kept is the fact that Emmanuel Reynaud is averse to the use of new wood and that there is as little intervention as possible during the upbringing. The mostly large barrels are sometimes more than 80 years old and give the wines their unique character. In these barrels, the wines stay for a minimum of 16 months before being bottled. After bottling, the wines often stay in the domain's cellar for years. |
