Domaine des Tours Vin de Pays Vaucluse Rouge 2022
The Wine
Grenache, Counoise, Syrah, Cinsault,
The vineyards are tended with organic methods, manually plowed, harvested much later than other producers, and centered around a reverence for old-vine Grenache.
Produced in Sarrians, this cuvée has become over the years one of the most coveted references in the Rhône Valley thanks to its unique style, combining fruit intensity, freshness and elegance. Made mainly from Grenache, supplemented depending on the vintage by other traditional grape varieties such as Syrah, Cinsault or Counoise, this wine comes from vines cultivated on sandy, clay and pebble terroirs. These soils promote perfect ripeness of the grapes while preserving the balance and finesse that characterize Emmanuel Reynaud's wines.
The winemaking favours a low-intervention approach to fully express the terroir and vintage. Ageing enhances the wine without overpowering the fruit, preserving its aromatic purity. The bouquet opens with intense notes of wild strawberry, black cherry, ripe raspberry, and garrigue, while hints of liquorice, sweet spices, dried flowers, and Mediterranean herbs emerge with aeration. On the palate, it offers a velvety texture, well-balanced concentration, and remarkable harmony. Despite its natural richness, the wine maintains vibrant freshness and exceptional drinkability, culminating in a long, complex, and persistent finish.
Capable of being appreciated in its youth as well as after several years of ageing.

About the Wine Maker 
Owned by the Reynaud family since 1935, Château des Tours was the home estate of Château Rayas' celebrated winemaker, Emmanuel Reynaud, and is now managed by his sons, Louis Damien and Benoît.
Emmanuel led the estate from 1989 until his passing in 2025, cultivating olives and grains alongside grapes in true farmer fashion.
The vineyards are maintained with the same organic practices applied across the Reynaud properties, including horse-ploughing and a deep respect for the old-vine Grenache. Grapes from 40 hectares are hand-harvested, undergo whole-cluster fermentation with native yeasts, and are crafted entirely without modern interventions, making Château des Tours wines among the most sought-after in the Rhône.
