Raymond Reyes, Director of Winegrowing

Crafting elegant sparkling and still wines is truly a year-round labor of love, and few understand this as much as Raymond Reyes, Director of Winegrowing at Domaine Chandon. As the man in charge of Chandon’s crop and land management, he spends the damp, chilly winter months wandering the hillsides of our various appellations, leading highly trained pruning teams and devising a plan to ensure each vintage reaches its full potential.

Raymond joined Chandon after working most recently at E&J Gallo Family Winery as Director of Grower Relations. Prior to this experience, he owned Sunset Vineyard Consulting Company, was VP Vineyard Operations at Icon Estates, Constellation Wines – Canandaigua Brands and at Domaine Chandon as Grower Relations Manager. Raymond holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Natural Resources Management, with a Specialization in Soil/Crop Science at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.
