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.
Honeysuckle and beeswax on the nose, followed on the palate by a superb richness and a great buttery texture. Can be drank young, but a few years in the cellar will be better.
