The wine

Pignan cannot be considered as the second wine from Château Rayas as, despite being made from Grenache too, its fruit comes from a more northern vineyard. The Pignan wine makes up about 20% of the winery's production and its best vintages earn it a place among the best wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Depending on the year, up to 20% of the wine may be sourced from the youngest vines of the Château, although what gives it its true essence is the ochre sandy soils and pebble (galet) covered clay so typical of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker and Jancis Robinson

As I indicated last year, this estate’s sleeper selection is their 2007 Pignan Chateauneuf du Pape, a 100% Grenache from sandy soils. This offering, aged totally in old foudres and demi-muids, includes some of the declassified Rayas lots, and the 2007 is the finest Pignan since the 1990. A medium ruby color is followed by explosive aromas of sweet kirsch, lavender, licorice, and earth. The wine hits the palate with a blast of fruit and glycerin, full body, and an ethereal lightness and elegance that are remarkable for a wine of such intense fruit. A great effort, it may merit an even higher score after a few years in the bottle. Enjoy it over the next 12-15 years.

— Robert M. Parker, Jr. (31/10/2009)Robert Parker Wine Advocate Vintage 2007 - 93 PARKER

Open, warm, rich fruit with a little hint of rusty nail rusticity but amazingly concentrated and rich – just rather less complex than the grand vin described below.
