Château des Tours Vacqueyras 2017, from the pebbly, clay soils of Vacqueyras, blends Grenache and Syrah in a wine with blackberry and licorice notes. Fresh and silky on the palate, with a mineral touch, it can be enjoyed through 2030 with red meat or cheese.
A family estate rooted in Sarrians, amid the sun-drenched lands of the southern Rhône, where winemaking heritage has been passed down since 1935.
- Terroir: Clay-limestone soils and rounded pebbles on the hills of Vacqueyras, bathed in Provençal sunlight, shape wines that are both powerful and elegantly precise.
- Winemaking: Traditional methods and patience yield cuvées in which fruit meets a silky structure, without artifice.
Tasting notes for Château des Tours Vacqueyras 2017
Appearance: A deep garnet color with ruby highlights, dense texture, and luminosity.
On the nose: Wild blackberry and black cherry aromas mingle with notes of dried thyme and licorice, lifted by a mineral touch of flint.
On the palate: A silky opening, supported by lively acidity and chalky minerality, extends into a long, saline finish with sweet spice and a hint of cocoa.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux-style red wine glass to fully release its aromas.
2017 vintage
A vintage marked by a rare balance of ripeness and freshness, in which the generous Rhône sun shaped wines that are both full-bodied and taut.
- Aging potential: Store for 8 to 12 years in a cool cellar (12–14°C), away from light, to let its complexity develop.
