Chateau des Tours "Reserve Rouge" Côtes du Rhône 2020

Located in Sarrians, just outside Vacqueyras, the Reynaud family purchased Château des Tours in 1935. Tall towers flank the old house on both sides (hence “des Tours”). This is Emmanuel’s family estate, which he took over from his father, Bernard, in 1989. Like all Reynaud vineyards, these are tended with the same organic methods, manually plowed, all hand-harvested much later than other producers, and centered around a reverence for old-vine Grenache. The Cotes du Rhone Rouge is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault. Each varietal is fermented separately in oak casks, with assemblage taking place in enamel-lined tanks before bottling. Aged in used 600 L oak casks for 18 months.
