Château de Fonsalette, Cuvée Syrah 2000

At Rayas, Emmanuel Reynaud makes the world's greatest grenache and, inarguably, the single best wine from Chateauneuf-du-Pape. His wines at the family’s other two estates, des Tours and Fonsalette, offer similarly compelling windows into his elegant, intensely aromatic style. The wines are unlike any others in France. Think the detail of Burgundy meets the savory, clustery spice of the Rhone.
