Unlike its neighbours, Rayas relies solely on Grenache, gently pressed and aged slowly in old demi-muids and foudres rather than new oak. Bottled in magnum, this 2000 shows a garnet-edged ruby colour, with a perfumed nose of red cherry, raspberry, black pepper and truffle. The palate is silky and seamless, opulently textured yet threaded with spice and undergrowth, closing on a long, savoury finish that the large format has helped preserve with grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRayas defies Châteauneuf-du-Pape convention by working only Grenache, coaxing a finesse rarely found in the region's typically blended reds. Matured without new oak, its purity and perfume remain untouched by wood, while a silky texture and spice-laden complexity set it apart from more powerful appellation styles. The magnum format lets this famously age-worthy wine unfold at an unhurried pace.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liquide","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45047993139243,"sku":"Rayas Chateauneuf Du Pape 2000","price":1840.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/0883\/3579\/files\/rayas_95eb0414-fcba-4e0d-a385-f2687a01114d.webp?v=1787605688","url":"https:\/\/liquide.store\/products\/rayas-chateauneuf-du-pape-2000","provider":"Liquide","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
