The Domaine des Tours Merlot Syrah 2006, born in Sarrians in IGP Vaucluse, blends Merlot and Syrah on clay-limestone soils. This wine reveals aromas of dark fruits and spices, a silky palate and a mineral finish. Perfect with red meats or cheeses, it can still be kept for 5 to 10 years.
Domaine des Tours
An estate where Rhône tradition and exceptional expertise intertwine, rooted in the sun-drenched lands of Sarrians.
- Terroir: Clay-limestone soils and rolled pebbles of the Vaucluse, bathed in the Mediterranean climate – a mineral and generous signature.
- Vinification: Barrel aging for wines that are both structured and silky, where each grape variety expresses its purity without artifice.
Tasting notes for the Domaine des Tours Merlot Syrah 2006
To the eye: A deep purple robe with garnet reflections, of a velvety density that heralds a rich and well-preserved substance.
On the nose: First notes of wild blackberry and black cherry, followed by a hint of liquorice and grey pepper, before opening up to a subtle chalky minerality.
On the palate: A full, fleshy texture, carried by a lively acidity and silky tannins, giving way to a long, slightly saline finish where hints of soft spices can be discerned.
Serve between 16 and 18°C in a Bordeaux-style red wine glass to reveal its full complexity.
2006 Vintage
A vintage marked by a hot, dry summer, yielding concentrated grapes and wines of harmonious maturity.
- Aging potential: To be enjoyed until 2026; store in a cool cellar (12–14°C) away from light.
