i. Biography
# Coming Up In Le Cannet-des-Maures, in the Var, Château Reillanne is an estate built on continuity: vines planted in 1919, a family settled there in 1956, and Provence rosé shaped through that same long hold on place. Guillaume de Chevron-Villette took over as owner and winemaker in 1983, working within an inherited structure where the dates matter because they map the transfer of knowledge from one generation to the next. That continuity extends across the titles attached to the work. Guillaume de Chevron-Villette has been owner and winemaker of Château Reillanne since 1983, then became gérant et associé indéfiniment responsable of Château Chevron Villette since 2016, followed by Château Castellamare since 2018 and the Groupement Foncier Agricole de la Chapelone since 2020. The pattern is less about profile than responsibility: each role records a longer commitment to managing land, property, and production over time.
Where They Are Now
Since 1983, Guillaume de Chevron-Villette has continued as owner and winemaker at Château Reillanne in Le Cannet-des-Maures. The estate remains the center of his work, where lineage and day-to-day winemaking stay tied to the same address.
Signature
Guillaume's signature wines include EMOA, 1189 Héritage, Cosmique, Tradition, and EMOA Rouge. Read together, they point to a style organized around inheritance, naming, and continuity rather than novelty for its own sake.
In Their Words “After 25 years of winemaking, punctuated by countless exciting experiences, I had great pleasure and emotion in composing this EMOA vintage. It is a tribute, full of pride, to my children... Emeline, Mélia, Olympe and Adam.” The quote frames the EMOA vintage as a marked point in a working life: after 25 years, the bottle carries both accumulated practice and a direct family reference. The language is plain enough to register as a record of labor, and specific enough to show how a cuvée can stand in for memory without leaving the realm of production.
