What you will taste
Rayas is the strangest and most beloved estate of Châteauneuf-du-Pape: sandy soils, shaded vines, wines that look pale and taste unforgettable. Pignan comes from a parcel beside the grand vin and shares its magic at a fraction of the price. The 2015 is sun in a glass, yet ethereal: raspberry, cherry, dried herbs of the garrigue, a texture closer to fine Burgundy than to the powerful south. Bottles like this explain why collectors whisper the name.
The sommelier’s note
«Do not serve it warm: 16 degrees keeps the perfume floating. Half an hour open is enough; it fades if you push it too far.»
How this wine opens up
From the first pour to the last glass — follow it through the evening.
On arrival
Check the chill
It should feel just cool to the hand, around 16 degrees. Open it and pour a small first taste.

Pale but mighty
Do not judge the light colour: red berries and warm herbs rise from the glass with surprising force.
