The Domaine des Tours Merlot 2010, grown biodynamically in Sarrians, captivates with its airy and precise Merlot. Notes of plum, blond tobacco, and undergrowth combine with a silky, fresh palate. Perfect with autumn dishes such as a porcini mushroom risotto or an aged cheese.
domaine des Tours
Nestled in Sarrians, in the heart of the Vaucluse, this family estate has embodied since 1935 the rigor and discretion of a viticulture respectful of living nature.
- Terroir: Clay-limestone soils of the IGP Vaucluse, shaped by a temperate Mediterranean climate, where each grape variety reveals a chalky minerality and a vibrant tension.
- Winemaking: Natural method – indigenous yeasts, patient aging – for wines of rare purity, where the fruit converses with the earth without artifice.
Tasting notes for the wine Domaine des Tours Merlot 2010
To the eye: Garnet robe with tawny highlights, of a silky density.
On the nose: Aromas of candied plum and wild blackberry intertwine with notes of blond tobacco, roasted cacao, and a saline touch reminiscent of sun-scorched garrigue.
On the palate: A fluid and velvety attack, tannins melted into an almost unctuous texture, carried by a lively acidity and a long finish where licorice and soft spices intertwine.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux-style red wine glass to release its full aromatic palette.
Vintage 2010
A vintage where freshness sculpted wines of rare elegance, combining ripeness and tension.
- Aging potential: To drink now for its current patina, or store until 2028 in a cellar at a stable temperature (12–14°C), away from light.
