About Château Rayas
Château Rayas was founded in 1880 and now operates three domains across southern Rhône appellations. Emmanuel Reynaud directs the program, which spans Châteauneuf du Pape, Côtes du Rhône, Vacqueyras, and Côtes du Rhône Village. Château des Tours, a forty-hectare property, cultivates Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Merlot, and Counoise for reds, alongside Grenache and Clairette whites. Olives planted there in 1997 extend the work beyond wine. The Vacqueyras Rouge draws 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. Château Fonsalette completes the house. No tasting room.
