Emmanuel Reynaud
Emmanuel Reynaud managed the family-run group comprising Château Rayas in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Fonsalette in Lagarde-Paréol and Château des Tours in Sarrians. These estates in the Rhône Valley produce, in particular, wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes-du-Rhône, Vacqueyras and IGP Vaucluse. Since Emmanuel Reynaud’s death in November 2025, the running of the estate has been taken over by his sons, Benoît and Louis-Damien Reynaud.

Histoire du domaine
The origins of the estate date back to 1880, when Albert Reynaud, a notary in the Avignon region, acquired a mixed-farming property in the hamlet of Rayas, in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. His son, Louis Reynaud, succeeded him in 1920, expanded the vineyard’s presence and began bottling the wines on the estate. Louis acquired the Domaine des Tours in Sarrians in 1935, followed by Château de Fonsalette in Lagarde-Paréol in 1945. On Louis’s death in 1978, Jacques Reynaud took over the management of Rayas and Fonsalette, whilst his brother Bertrand retained the Domaine des Tours. Emmanuel Reynaud, Bertrand’s son, was already managing Château des Tours when he took over Rayas and Fonsalette following the death of his uncle Jacques in 1997. He then brought the family’s various estates and their labels under a single management, including Château Rayas, Pignan, Château de Fonsalette, La Pialade, Château des Tours and Domaine des Tours. Emmanuel Reynaud passed away in November 2025. Benoît Reynaud has been chairman of Château Rayas since February 2026 and Louis-Damien Reynaud is its managing director; the sources consulted confirm their involvement in taking over the business, but do not allow us to attribute with certainty sole responsibility for the winemaking across the entire portfolio to either of them.
La Pialade
La Pialade is a red cuvée in AOP Côtes-du-Rhône, crafted depending on the vintage from lots originating from Rayas and/or Fonsalette not selected for their primary blends. Generally dominated by Grenache and complemented by Cinsault and Syrah, it is vinified and aged in the cellars of Rayas. Its production is small and intermittent.
- Style of the cuvée
- A fine, delicate, and aromatic red, with expressive fruit and a supple texture. Its style is generally more open and less deep than that of Château Rayas, while retaining the elegant signature of the Reynaud family wines.
- Position within the range
- A Côtes-du-Rhône providing entry into the world of Rayas, rare but less deep and less prestigious than the main cuvée.
Histoire de la cuvée
Already produced before the takeover of Château Rayas by Emmanuel Reynaud in 1997, La Pialade was kept in the range under his management. The consulted sources do not allow for the precise establishment of its first vintage year or the origin of its name.
