Now mature, this vintage offers an opportunity to explore a more evolved expression of Vacqueyras, where ripe fruit and the warmth of the appellation can develop savoury complexity over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBottle condition and storage will shape the profile, but a mature Vacqueyras of this style may show a garnet hue and aromas of dried red and dark fruit, herbs, spice and earthy notes. On the palate, expect a fuller-bodied red with softened tannins and a lingering, savoury finish.\n\nAt around 20 years of age, it is best approached as a mature wine rather than one to cellar for extended development. Open carefully and assess the bottle as it evolves in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at approximately 16–18°C with roast lamb, grilled beef, game or slow-cooked dishes seasoned with Mediterranean herbs. Open shortly before serving; a gentle decant can help separate any sediment, but avoid extended aeration until you have tasted the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau des Tours is part of the Reynaud family’s estate portfolio and is closely linked with Château Rayas, one of the Rhône Valley’s most celebrated domaines.
