Forty hectares of vineyards situated in the Vacqueyras area a few kilometers north of Sarrians were purchased by the Reynaud family in 1935. The old maison is flanked on both sides by tall towers (hence Des Tours). Emmanuel took over this château from his father Bernard (Jacques' brother) in 1989. The vineyards are tended with organic methods, manually plowed, and harvested much later than other producers. From vines planted from 1978-1980. Prevoisly labeled as Côtes-du-Rhône, in 2015, the AOC Côtes du Rhône re-established the zoning of the region meaning that the Grenache Blanc parcel on the estate was no longer within the limits.
During vinification, each varietal of every vineyard is fermented separately in oak casks, with assemblage taking place in enamel-lined tanks before bottling. Fermentation is allowed to begin naturally with no inoculation of yeasts and the wine is aged for nine months.
Organic, Sustainable.
