Vacqueyras - Château des Tours 2012

Description

Château des Tours’ Vacqueyras is one of the appellation’s most sought-after wines and bears the unique signature of Emmanuel Reynaud, owner of the famous Château Rayas in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

The wine is aged with precision to preserve its identity without masking its origin.

The fruit remains at the heart of the tasting experience, supported by a silky texture and a lovely length. Suitable for drinking in its youth or after several years of cellaring, this Vacqueyras offers a refined and deeply authentic expression of the southern Rhône Valley.
