David Reynaud

The Climb

Ownership of Domaine Les Bruyères since 2000 remains the core fact around which David Reynaud’s reputation is built. In Beaumont-Monteux, France, that means the domaine is not a backdrop but the site of the work itself, with Crozes-Hermitage as the wine language he has made his own. The climb is measured less by movement than by continuity: estate, appellation, and the steady shaping of a recognizable style.

Today

Crozes-Hermitage remains the center of David Reynaud’s present work. The result is a practice defined by persistence rather than display, with Beaumont-Monteux, France, and Crozes-Hermitage holding the line of his public identity.

Signature

Crozes-Hermitage Rouge “Les Croix” 2019 and Les Croix Vieilles Vignes Crozes-Hermitage 2021 are the cuvées most closely identified with David Reynaud. They sit within a portfolio rooted in Crozes-Hermitage, and their names signal the estate logic behind the work: specific bottlings tied to a specific place. Together, they mark the way his ownership at Domaine Les Bruyères has been expressed through the wines themselves since 2000.

In Their Words “My cuvées are born of love, passion and homage.”
