The Story

A cult bottle from the Reynaud family — the same hands behind the legendary Chateau Rayas. Chateau de Fonsalette is their Côtes du Rhône property, and the Cuvée Réserve is the top wine: Grenache-dominant (50% Grenache, 35% Cinsault, 15% Syrah), made with the same obsessive low-yield, old-vine approach that defines Rayas. Often called 'baby Rayas,' though that undersells how singular it is. At 27 years old, the 1998 is fully mature — a quiet, profound bottle of Rhône that has shed its baby fat and shows the wild herbs, smoke, and earth that make Reynaud wines so addictive.
