COMPAGNON
The Vin de Pays du Vaucluse 2022 from Domaine des Tours is a fruity, silky and charming red from the Rhône, made by Emmanuel Reynaud, the man who led the legendary Château Rayas. Simple in appearance yet remarkably refined, it offers the most accessible entry point into the Reynaud family's world. This is a wine for pleasure and sharing, with an excellent quality to price ratio.

Terroir and vineyards
Domaine des Tours is located in Sarrians, at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, in the southern Rhône Valley. The vines grow on sandy and clay soils mixed with pebbles, which produce wines that are both generous and elegant. This Vin de Pays is mainly Grenache, complemented by Rhône varieties such as Cinsault and Syrah, grown at low yields and hand harvested. The 2022 vintage, hot and dry, gave ripe, concentrated grapes and wines with bright fruit.

Tasting profile
The colour is a luminous ruby. The nose opens on raspberry, cherry and strawberry, with notes of garrigue, pepper and gentle spice. The palate is supple and juicy, carried by fine tannins and lovely freshness. The finish is fruity and lightly spiced. It is a pleasure to drink now and over the next three to five years.

The domaine
Domaine des Tours has belonged to the Reynaud family for several generations. Emmanuel Reynaud ran it before taking over Château Rayas in 1997, following the death of his uncle Jacques. He then looked after both estates for nearly thirty years, until his passing in 2025, with the same distinctive style: very low yields, ageing in old barrels and absolute respect for the fruit. This 2022 vintage is among the last wines he vinified.

Food and wine pairing
Serve between 14 and 16 °C. It pairs beautifully with a platter of charcuterie, grilled dishes, herb roasted chicken, ratatouille, pizza or pasta with tomato sauce. Among cheeses, it works very well with Saint Nectaire or a sheep's milk tomme.
