Domaine des Tours
Nestled in the heart of Vacqueyras, this family estate embodies the demands of a terroir and the transmission of artisanal expertise.
- Terroir: Clay-limestone soils of the southern Rhône Valley, bathed in light and mistral, shaping wines of rare precision.
- Winemaking: Traditional method and minimalist approach, where time and patience reveal the authenticity of the fruit.
Tasting notes for the wine Domaine des Tours Merlot 2004
Appearance: Deep garnet robe with tawny highlights, of a silky texture slightly veiled by the years.
On the nose: Aromas of wild blackberry and candied black cherry, followed by a touch of liquorice and undergrowth, lifted by a subtle chalky note and a hint of salinity.
On the palate: Velvety attack, integrated but still present tannins, a lively acidity that carries a discreet minerality and a long finish marked by soft spices.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux-style red wine glass to enhance its complexity.
2004 Vintage
A generous vintage, where the summer heat ripened the grapes without excess, preserving freshness and balance.
- Aging potential: To drink now or to cellar until 2028, under optimal conditions (cool cellar, away from light and vibrations).
