Chateau des Tours 2020 Red Wine – Premium Cotes-du-Rhone Vintage

Château Des Tours Red Blend 2020
Elevate your wine collection with this exceptional offering from Château Des Tours, a gem crafted by the renowned Reynaud family of Château Rayas fame. Nestled in France’s storied Côtes du Rhône region, this estate has been perfecting its craft since 1935, blending tradition with organic viticulture to create wines that rival Burgundy’s elegance at a fraction of the cost.

A Masterful Blend of Tradition & Nuance
This 2020 vintage features a harmonious marriage of 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 15% Cinsault, aged to perfection in French oak barrels. Expect a symphony of flavors: vibrant red fruit aromas—think cherry compote and wild berries—intertwined with subtle spice notes of cinnamon and clove. On the palate, velvety tannins glide over a backbone of refreshing acidity, offering a seamless balance that’s both approachable yet complex enough for connoisseurs.

Crafted with Reverence for Terroir
Planted on forty hectares of organic vineyards in Vacqueyras, these vines are nurtured with meticulous care: manually plowed soils retain natural nutrients, while delayed harvesting enhances concentration and complexity. The estate’s focus on old-vine Grenache (some over 80 years old) ensures depth and character rarely found in Côtes du Rhône blends.

Why This Wine Stands Out
– Elegance Meets Affordability: Jeb Dunnuck hailed it as “beautifully fresh” with echoes of Rayas’ sophistication at a fraction of the price
– Perfect Pairing Potential: Pairs effortlessly with charcuterie boards or grilled meats
– Sustainable Craftsmanship: Certified organic practices honor both tradition and environmental stewardship

Whether enjoyed at a casual dinner or a refined tasting event, this 14.5% ABV blend delivers pure drinking pleasure—rich yet refined, bold yet balanced. A must-try for fans of Southern Rhône GSM blends seeking a standout value in their cellar rotation.
