Description

Château Rayas Fonsalette 2009 is an elegant, full-bodied Rhône red, prized for its expressive dark fruit and savoury spice. Robert M. Parker Jr. described it in 2011 as a wine with the depth and balance to develop for 15 years or more.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour, it opens with plum and spice, followed by sweet boysenberry and black cherry. Notes of liquorice and incense add a savoury, aromatic edge. The palate is full-bodied yet elegant, with ripe fruit and a silky, glycerol-rich texture. Parker noted its potential to age for 15 years or longer from the time of his review; a bottle today may show mature, developed character, so its condition and storage history will matter.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C. Its dark-fruit and savoury notes should suit roast lamb, grilled beef or a slow-cooked dish with herbs. For a well-stored bottle, open it in advance and taste before deciding whether to decant; gentle decanting can help separate any sediment, while prolonged aeration may not suit a mature wine.

Producer
Château Rayas is one of the Rhône Valley’s best-known and most distinctive estates, associated especially with its wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Fonsalette is another celebrated Rayas bottling, and the estate’s reputation rests on wines valued for their individuality, elegance and capacity to age.
