Château des Tours belongs to Emmanuel Reynaud, the nephew of the late, great Jacques Reynaud. Emmanuel is now joint-custodian of Château Rayas, perhaps the most sought-after of all Châteauneuf-du-Pape estates, but he perfected his winemaking at Château des Tours. Given that he trained under his uncle, it is not difficult to understand why Château des Tours wines are so good. The grapes are harvested late, and yields are very low. Vinification is traditional, but highly effective. They are a great introduction to the Reynaud range, and represent superb value for money.
Château des Tours為Emmanuel Reynaud所有,他是隆河區拉雅堡(Château Rayas)傳奇釀酒師Jacques Reynaud的姪子。現在Emmanuel開始接手拉雅堡這座教皇新堡區最為人稱道的酒莊,無可抹滅的是, Château des Tours才是造就他釀酒技術爐火純青的地方;在叔父Jacques的教導下,Emmanuel將Château des Tours的酒表現得淋漓盡致。這裡的葡萄較晚採收,產量也相當地低,釀造手法遵循傳統,表現絕佳。這些酒款可說是釀酒師─Reynaud家族風格的入門款,展現南隆河的風味,也是超值的選擇。 |
