The Château des Tours Vacqueyras 2016, from the stony terroirs of Vacqueyras, blends Grenache and Syrah for a Rhône red with notes of dark fruits, spices and cocoa. The palate, silky and mineral, captivates with its balance. Perfect until 2028 with game or slow-cooked dishes.
A family estate rooted at the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail, where Grenache flourishes under the southern Rhône sun.
- Terroir: clay-limestone soils and rolled pebbles of Vacqueyras, lending the wines a chalky minerality and elegant tension.
- Vinification: patient aging in large oak barrels, respecting natural balances for precise and vibrant cuvées.

To the eye: deep ruby robe with garnet reflections, of a silky density and crystalline clarity.
On the nose: aromas of wild blackberry and fresh blackcurrant, lifted by notes of liquorice, roasted cocoa and a saline hint of flint.
On the palate: velvety texture, fine and tight tannins, lively acidity balanced by a chalky minerality, long and fresh finish with hints of garrigue.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux-style red wine glass to release its full complexity.
