Château des Tours is owned and operated by the legendary Reynaud family, which purchased property in the Rhone Valley in 1880. Their first estate was Château Rayas. In the late 1930s the family purchased the property that would become the 100-acre Château des Tours, adding the 30-acre Chateau de Fonsalette in 1945. Four generations of Reynauds have operated the three estates turning their wines into gold standards for their appellations. Robert M. Parker Jr. has called Château Rayas “one of the mythical names of France” because of its outstanding winemaking. And Jeb Dunnuck has noted that Emmanuel Reynaud, current owner and winemaker, makes wines that “never lack for power or richness.” Château des Tours wines earn consistently complimentary reviews.
