About this Item

des Tours
Vaucluse Collection, 2015
4 (1 x 4) 750ml

Domaine des Tours is a French wine producer located in the southern Rhône Valley appellation of Vacqueyras. The estate is owned by Emmanuel Reynaud who also owns the famed Château Rayas in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Domaine des Tours is perhaps best known in relation to these top estates and produces similarly crafted red and white wines from Vacqueyras, Côtes-du-Rhône, and Vaucluse. The domaine's best fruit is used for Château des Tours Vacqueyras, a blend of around 95 percent Grenache with 5 percent Syrah.

The lot consists of the following wines:
des Tours Côte-du-Rhône Blanc 2015 (1 x750ml)
des Tours Vin de Pays de Vaucluse Blanc 2015 (3 x 750ml)

Critics Ratings

des Tours Côte-du-Rhône Blanc 2015:
This Côtes-du-Rhône blanc is 100% Grenache Blanc, it has a golden hue with a thick meniscus, the signs of creaminess, opulence and unctuosity. Its aromas of wax, green almond, aniseed and white fleshy fruit mean this is very rich on the palate. This wine beautifully combines substance, freshness, finesse and complexity.

des Tours Vin de Pays de Vaucluse Blanc 2015:
This cuvée, 100% Clairette, has a pretty gold color which exudes complex and delicious notes of honey, candied lemon, wax and minerals. These aptly announce a creamy, generous palate, composed of notes of white fruits, themselves balanced by citrus flavors. Its finish ends at length with beautiful bitter notes, offering it the possibility of accompanying gastronomic dishes and, above all, offering it a unique profile which contributes far and wide to its formidable reputation.
