Château des Tours Réserve 2018 – Côtes-du-Rhône
A distinctive cuvée from the Reynaud universe, Château des Tours Réserve 2018 offers a generous yet refined interpretation of the Southern Rhône. Combining ripe fruit, silky texture and natural elegance, it stands apart through its balance and understated depth.
Terroir & Philosophy
Sourced from vineyards in Sarrians, in the Southern Rhône, this wine grows on light sandy and alluvial soils, which bring finesse, fluidity and aromatic clarity. This terroir allows for a more delicate expression of Grenache, far from the more structured styles of the region.
The estate follows a traditional, low-intervention approach, with gentle extraction to preserve purity of fruit and fine tannins. The blend, led by Grenache with Syrah and Cinsault, results in a wine that favors elegance, transparency and drinkability over power.
The 2018 vintage, warm and generous, brings a slightly richer and more rounded profile. However, the wine retains freshness and balance, offering a harmonious expression where ripeness is perfectly controlled.
Tasting Notes
Nose:
Aromas of ripe strawberry, raspberry and red cherry, complemented by hints of garrigue, sweet spices and subtle earthy notes.
Palate:
Round and silky, with a slightly fuller body than cooler vintages. The wine shows supple tannins and a smooth texture, balanced by freshness and a sense of natural flow.
Finish:
Long, smooth and gently spiced, with lingering notes of red fruit and dried herbs. A refined and harmonious finish.
