解説
パーカーポイント: 95点 予想される飲み頃:1995 - 2010 Pignan is an actual terroir or lieu-dit that sits to the west and north of the narrow band of sandy/clay soil that composes the Rayas vineyard. While it is a separate vineyard, in practice, Pignan is the second wine of Rayas. Its extraordinary showing in such recent vintages as 1989 and 1990 have led some skeptics to suggest that Reynaud may be putting his best juice in Pignan, using Rayas as a second label. This is untrue, but there is no doubting that Pignan, especially in 1989 and 1990, is a wine of extraordinary richness and intensity that can be purchased for less than half the price of Rayas. The 1990 Pignan is a thick, fruity ball of overripe black-cherry Grenache fruit. Thick and juicy, with high alcohol and glycerin, this knockout, full-bodied, port-like wine should drink well for another 15 + years. Last tasted 12/95. (Rhone Book, The Wine Advocate, 1st Jan 1997)

シャトー・ヌフ・デュ・パプの真の偉大な生産者
シャトー ラヤス
Chateau Rayas
シャトー・ラヤスの区画は森に囲まれており、特別な湿った冷涼な微気候を作り出しています。ラヤスはシャトーヌフ・デュ・パプの中でも常に最後にブドウを収穫する畑の一つです。
彼は10ヘクタールのブドウの木(そのうちの2ヘクタールは白系品種の畑です)から平均10,000本のボトルを生産しており、1ヘクタールあたり7.5ヘクトリットル(ボルドーのグラン・クリュ・クラッセは1ヘクタールあたり40ヘクトリットルを超える)ほどのワインを生産します。
ここにはシャトーヌフ・デュ・パプのワインの品質が高い畑の特徴としてよく言われる大きな石や丸い小石はありません。水分と栄養分を保持するための粘土もないため、果実収量を抑えています。それを考慮すると、ラヤスのワインが稀少で高価であることは仕方のないことと言えるかもしれません。
