Taken over at this time by Claude Lafond, the vineyard has continued to evolve, improving its wines and vine-growing techniques, and increasing in size..
Today the production area covers 15 ha :
 - 9 ha of sauvignon for white wine, Reuilly's crowning glory,
 - 2.5 ha of pinot gris which is made into rose wine,
 - 3 ha of pinot noir which is used for red wine.

To give each wine its own distinctive personality, wine is made separately from each part of the vineyard :

 - "La Raie" (white wine), 6 ha of very stony topsoil, over upper kimmeridgian limestone, on a south-east facing slope. Here the sauvignon is giving to the wine a very delicate bouquet.

 - "Le Clos des Messieurs" (white wine), 1.3 ha of sandy, gritty topsoil over clay, on a terrace with gentle easterly slope. Its name comes from the last century : some "Gentlemen of great quality" owned at this place a plot of vine, considering it was here that the sauvignon gived its best results.

 - "Les Grandes Vignes" (red wine), 3.5 ha of pinot noir grape, on a sandy and clay topsoil over lacustrine tertiary limestone.

 - "La Grande Piece" (rose wine), 3 ha of pinot gris grape, on a very stony soil, sandy and silty, with a low level of organic matter.
It gives the "Reuilly gris" wine which reputation is growing year after year.
