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, harvested much later than other producers (we have this to thank for the notes of deep, ripe fruit!), and centered around a reverence for old-vine Grenache. Grenache planted in 1955, Syrah planted between 1981-1996 on a sandy, west-facing vineyard.
