In Sarrians (Vaucluse), Emmanuel Reynaud, owner of the legendary Château Rayas in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, delivers some haute-couture to magnify the Grenache (white or red) at Château des Tours, and also bottles some wines under the name Domaine des Tours. Even though the grapes are picked at an advanced ripeness, the wines are not over extracted, with an astonishing depth.
This blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah is quite light in color compared to the rest of AOC (in a pure Reynaud style) give us a superb savory, complex, and subtle Vacqueyras.
