The old house is flanked on both sides by tall towers (hence “des Tours”). This is Emmanuel's family estate, which he took over from his father, Bernard, in 1989. Emmanuel was at heart a farmer, and here he grows food for his family — olives, grains, and, importantly, grapes. Like all Reynaud vineyards, these are tended with the same organic methods, manually plowed, all hand-harvested much later than other producers, and centered around a reverence for old-vine Grenache. With 40 hectares of vineyards surrounding the house, Emmanuel produced Vacqueyras, Côtes du Rhône, and Vin De Pays, all from estate fruit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrenache, Counoise, Syrah, Cinsault, Merlot aged for 12 months, with the Merlot aged in barriques (30% new).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martine's Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47177029222658,"sku":"F-4301","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1920\/2991\/files\/REYE-VPVR-1.png?v=1767141515"},{"product_id":"le-petit-vin-davril-rouge","title":"Le Petit vin d'Avril Rouge","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImporter Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e This special wine is one of the best-kept secrets of the Rhône Valley. This rare gem is a medium-bodied blend of Merlot, Marselan, Syrah, Grenache and Carignan. Its vibrant bouquet of ripe strawberries, blackberries, and plums is accented by floral undertones and a whisper of spice. The lively, balanced palate sings, with tannins that only Vincent Avril can coax from his grapes. Refreshing acidity, and a smooth, fruit-forward finish make this a moreish but poised red wine.
