Domaine des Tours Merlot Syrah 2006, a Vin de Pays de Vaucluse, draws its character from the Rhône’s chalky soils. Merlot and Syrah combine to bring aromas of dark fruit and spice, with a mineral note. Balanced on the palate, with silky tannins and a lingering finish. Ideal with leg of lamb or cheese.
Domaine des Tours
A family estate rooted in the sun-drenched Rhône Valley, where the Reynaud family’s heritage meets a quest for authenticity.
- Terroir: Clay-limestone soils and rounded pebbles of the Vaucluse, bathed in a Mediterranean climate—a setting for wines that are both generous and precise.
- Winemaking: Traditional methods, patient aging and respect for the fruit yield cuvées that reveal the soul of the South without artifice.
Tasting notes for Domaine des Tours Merlot Syrah 2006
Appearance – A deep red color with garnet highlights, dense and silky.
On the nose – Initial notes of wild blackberry and black cherry give way to a touch of licorice and sweet spice, finishing with a subtle chalky salinity.
On the palate – A full, fleshy texture, lifted by lively acidity and taut minerality, leads to a long, elegant finish.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux-style red wine glass to reveal its full complexity.
2006 vintage
A vintage marked by a rare balance between summer warmth and fall freshness, ideal for wines meant to age.
- Aging potential: Keep until 2026–2030 in a cellar at a stable temperature (12–14°C), away from light.
