The Vin de Pays du Vaucluse blanc 2022 from Domaine des Tours is a fresh, floral and delicate Rhône white, made by Emmanuel Reynaud, the man who led the legendary Château Rayas. Produced in small quantities, it offers a silky texture and a rare elegance for its appellation. It is a wine for pleasure, ideal for discovering the whites of the Reynaud family.
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 galets, which give wines that are both generous and fine. This white is made mainly from Grenache blanc and Clairette, from low yields, hand harvested. The 2022 vintage, hot and dry, produced ripe and healthy grapes and full bodied wines with bright fruit.
Tasting profile
The colour is pale gold and bright. The nose opens on pear, white peach and citrus, with notes of white flowers, aniseed and fresh almond. The palate is round and silky, carried by a delicate freshness and a pleasing saline quality. The finish is fine and floral. It is enjoyable now and over the next three to four years.
The estate
Domaine des Tours has belonged to the Reynaud family for several generations. Emmanuel Reynaud ran it before taking over Château Rayas in 1997, on the death of his uncle Jacques. He then led both estates for nearly thirty years, until his passing in 2025, with the same unique style: very low yields, ageing in old barrels and absolute respect for the fruit. This 2022 vintage is among the last wines he vinified himself.
Food and wine pairing
Serve between 10 and 12 °C. It pairs beautifully with tapenade and anchoïade as an aperitif, grilled fish with fennel, red mullet with tapenade, a Niçoise salad, poultry with lemon or a tian of vegetables. Among cheeses, it goes very well with a fresh goat's cheese or a Banon.
