According to Robert Parker:
“This is one of the mythical names of France… In addition to numerous cuvées of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château Rayas produces top-notch Côtes de Rhônes from its sister estate, Fonsalette.”
La Pialade is a second label in the traditional sense in that the fruit comes mainly from the Fonsalette estate, though a bit of Rayas estate fruit can find its way into the blend in some years. Usually cames from younger vines.
