The winemaker

Château des Tours	France	Rhône - Meriodanales

About the winemaker The Chateau des Tours is located in Sarrians and was purchased by Louis Reynaud between 1935 and 1938. Louis Reynaud was the second generation in the Reynaud dynasty. He left the Château des Tours to his son Bernard. This one had the responsibility of the Château until Emmanuel Reynaud stepped in. This was in the early 1980s. With the arrival of Emmanuel many things changed. No longer selling the grapes to the cooperative, he built his own cuverie and started making wines in the style he learned from his uncle Jacques Reynaud at Château Rayas.
