🏰 The 2001 Chateau de Fonsalette Reserve Syrah from Rayas is a highly sought-after wine from the legendary Chateauneuf-du-Pape producer's second estate, known for its exceptional quality and unique expression of Syrah. The 2001 vintage in the Southern Rhône was generally very good to excellent, producing wines with good concentration and aging potential. Expect a wine with 【complex aromas of black olive, garrigue, smoked meat, and dark berries, with a silky texture and a long, nuanced finish】 that speaks to its pedigree and age.
🍴 Cantonese food pairing: Superb with roasted squab, braised lamb shank, or a rich mushroom and truffle hot pot. Also pairs well with char siu or roasted goose.
🥂 Fit for event: An extraordinary choice for a special anniversary, a serious Rhône tasting, or a prized addition to any discerning collector's cellar.
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.
