Château Rayas

Reserve Château de Fonsalette Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend 2012

Medium dark rubi robe. Nose of spices, licorice, blackcurrant and dark cherries. Does not show all the octane in the mouth, rather fresh and balanced. We liked it a lot. Many years we had not seen a bottle anywhere. — a month ago

Thank you for the birthday lunch and wine

Domaine Gramenon

Sierra du Sud Côtes du Rhône Syrah

Phenomenal value for an ageable Syrah heavy Cotes du Rhone. Like a baby fonsalette, cracked pepper red and purple fruit savory warm sand and herbs. Light to medium body, crushable with great acid and still kicking on day 2. — 4 years ago

Super! Dark with boysenberry and sous bois nose. At its peak but will continue to evolve. Lovely

Heaven in a glass. Just a bit in your mouth and it bursts with flavors of dried fruit and spice — 3 months ago

Château Rayas

Château de Fonsalette Réservé Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 2007

Predominantly Grenache with a fair bit of cinsault, meatier than his famous brother Rayas but still a great Côtes du Rhône. Drink now.

Cornas Reynard (R) Syrah 2007

Compared to the juge and the fonsalette, this was totally reserved. Meat, olive, sage, granite and plum. Dark fruits, and for Syrah, a subtle aroma. This wine is very young but I would not call it closed up. Fairly tannic as well. — 6 years ago

Réservé Côtes du Rhône Syrah 1985

A brilliant aged Syrah more reminiscent of Cote Rotie than anything else. It keeps getting more youthful and complex with air. Fantastic. — 6 years ago

Réserve Vin de Pays de Vaucluse Red Rhone Blend 2012

Blood orange,liquorice , strawberry, violet (?), grilled meat(?!) on the nose. I could spend the evening with my nose upon this glass! What a nose ! Blood orange again on the palate which tends to have this bitter feeling all along the acid backbone. Red fruits around there too. Not as Burgundian and ethereal and precise as the chateau (cdr) in the same vintage but I can feel the lineage here. The finish is long with a bitter salty touch. Wow again. For a 13€ price-tag I could have this any given day. Perhaps one of the best value ever encountered. I can’t wait to open the big big brother fonsalette — 7 years ago
