Rayas, Chateau Des Tours Blanc Grande Reserve, 2010
🏰The 2010 Rayas Chateau des Tours Blanc Grande Reserve is a unique and interesting white wine from a Côtes du Rhône property managed by Emmanuel Reynaud, also known for Chateau Rayas. This particular Grande Reserve is crafted from 100% Grenache Blanc grapes. The 2010 vintage is noted for being more serious and likely to benefit from further aging.
【Expect a pale gold hue with a complex nose of honey, pear, apple, quince, Parmesan rind, fino sherry, lemon, and candied grapefruit peel, leading to a dry palate with a silky, viscous mouthfeel, crisp acidity, and subtle salty minerals.】
🍴 This distinctive white wine pairs well with chicken and turkey dishes. Its complexity also makes it suitable for richer poultry, creamy sauces, or even some aged, nutty cheeses.
🥂 A connoisseur's delight, this wine is perfect for a sophisticated tasting, a special dinner, or for those who appreciate the evolution of a fine white wine with age. It's a wine that rewards patience.
Serving Suggestion: This wine is still quite youthful and will benefit from more years in the bottle to fully develop its potential.
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.
