Executive Context
When to Order
The Provençal powerhouse. Order when you want an impressive Southern French red that isn't Bordeaux. Château Rayas is the benchmark — allocations are nearly impossible to obtain.
Say This at the Table
"A Châteauneuf-du-Pape — perhaps something from Château Beaucastel or Vieux Télégraphe. The complexity from the GSM blend is remarkable."
