Description
The second wine of Château Rayas, La Pialade is a Southern Rhône red blend bottled under the broader Côtes du Rhône appellation rather than Châteauneuf-du-Pape, drawn from the 2020 vintage. Southern Rhône reds of this kind are typically built around Grenache, giving warmth, red-fruited generosity, and a supple, welcoming texture that makes them approachable relatively young.

Expert Reviews
This has more length and breadth than most 2020 white Châteauneufs, with spiced citrus notes of satsuma and grapefruit decorated with cinnamon. Broad but not overly full-bodied, with bright acidity, tension and a tight mineral line. Long on the finish, with balanced alcohol, ending on pink grapefruit. A beautifully fine and fresh vintage of Rayas blanc. (Decanter, October 2021)
