The Domaine des Tours Merlot Syrah 2004, from the clay-limestone hillsides of Vaucluse, blends Merlot and Syrah into a wine with notes of cherry, tobacco, and spices. Its palate, firm and silky, reveals a mineral freshness. This rare vintage, at its peak, pairs beautifully with slow-cooked dishes and cheeses.
Domaine des Tours
Nestled in the heart of the Rhône Valley, this family estate embodies the demands of an exceptional terroir, shaped by generations of artisanal expertise.
- Terroir : Clay-limestone soils of Sarrians, bathed in the Mediterranean climate, where the garrigue and the winds sculpt wines of rare precision.
- Winemaking : Biodynamic methods, hand harvesting, and patient aging to reveal the authenticity of the grape varieties and the vintage.
Tasting notes for the wine Domaine des Tours Merlot-Syrah 2004
- Appearance : Deep garnet robe with tawny highlights, of a silky density and a mineral brilliance that heralds its maturity.
- On the nose : Aromas of dried cherry and blonde tobacco intertwine with notes of wild garrigue, aged leather, and candied olive, lifted by a saline and peppery touch.
- On the palate : Velvety attack, tannins still firm but integrated, carried by a lively acidity and a chalky minerality that stretches into a long, spiced finish.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux-style red wine glass to release its full complexity.
2004 Vintage
A fresh and balanced vintage, where the cool climate preserved the elegance of the grape varieties while encouraging a slow evolution toward tertiary aromas.
- Aging potential : At its peak today, this wine can still be cellared for 5 to 10 years in a cool cellar (12–14°C) away from light.
