Domaine des Tours Merlot Syrah 2008, from IGP Vaucluse, blends Merlot and Syrah grown on clay-limestone soils. Black fruit and spice notes with a hint of vanilla, a silky palate and fine tannins. Enjoy now or cellar through 2025, with roasted meats or aged cheeses.
Domaine des Tours
Nestled in the heart of Vaucluse, this family estate reflects the exacting standards of Emmanuel Reynaud, a winemaker of understated but undisputed renown.
- Terroir: Clay-limestone soils of Sarrians, bathed in the generous climate of the southern Rhône Valley, shape wines of rare depth.
- Winemaking: Patient aging and respect for the fruit produce cuvées in which the grapes’ ripeness finds natural elegance.
Tasting notes for Domaine des Tours Merlot Syrah 2008
Appearance: Deep red with garnet highlights and dense color, suggesting a generous, beautifully concentrated wine.
Nose: Wild blackberry and black cherry aromas intertwine with notes of licorice, gray pepper and a mineral touch of graphite.
Palate: Silky texture and fine yet noticeable tannins, supported by lively acidity that brings freshness and tension; the long, saline finish reveals sweet spice and a hint of cocoa.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux-style red wine glass to reveal its full complexity.
2008 vintage
A vintage marked by ideal weather conditions, yielding optimally ripe grapes for full-bodied, structured wines.
- Aging potential: Store for 5 to 8 years in a cool cellar (12–14°C), away from light, to preserve its aromatic richness.
