2019 Domaine des Tours Reserve Rouge

Description

This is a highly sought-after "hidden gem" produced by Emmanuel Reynaud, the legendary winemaker behind the world-famous Château Rayas. The wine is renowned for its "Rayas-like" DNA—it possesses a hauntingly beautiful, ethereal perfume that defies its humble classification. You can expect an explosion of wild strawberries, kirsch, dried orange peel, and Provençal herbs (garrigue), accented by a distinct note of white pepper and incense.
