What is Clos des Tourelles and why is it unique
Clos des Tourelles is a rare gem located in the heart of the village of Gigondas, in the southern Rhône Valley. Owned by the Perrin family, the renowned producers behind Château de Beaucastel, this clos is one of the only vineyards entirely enclosed within the old walls of the village. Planted on sandy soils and limestone scree, the site benefits from a unique microclimate that preserves freshness and balance. Farmed organically and vinified separately from the family's other wines, Clos des Tourelles reflects a meticulous, terroir-driven approach.
Which grape varieties are grown at Clos des Tourelles
Grenache Noir is the dominant grape, supported by smaller amounts of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. In the sandy soils of the clos, Grenache reveals finesse, purity and verticality. Hand-harvesting, careful sorting and gentle vinification in concrete tanks and large oak foudres help maintain the wine’s freshness and elegant texture. Each grape contributes to a Gigondas of rare grace and depth.
What wine style defines Clos des Tourelles
Clos des Tourelles is structured and intense, yet remarkably light on its feet. The wine offers refined aromas of ripe red fruit, wild herbs, soft spices and licorice, supported by silky tannins and bright mineral tension. The aging is long but subtle, adding complexity without masking the wine’s clarity. This is a Gigondas of refinement and poise, with a long aging potential and unmistakable identity.
What food pairings go well with Clos des Tourelles
This wine pairs beautifully with characterful, elegant dishes: herb-roasted lamb, duck with figs, root vegetable tagine or grilled veal chop. Its finesse also suits more delicate plates such as wild mushroom ravioli or truffle risotto. With structure and precision, Clos des Tourelles enhances refined cuisine, echoing its complexity and balance.
Why is Clos des Tourelles so appreciated
Clos des Tourelles stands out as one of the finest expressions of Gigondas. Its singular terroir, heritage, and the Perrin family’s mastery combine to create a wine that is both powerful and elegant. Its limited production, aging potential and mineral-driven style make it a sought-after bottle among sommeliers and collectors. It offers a unique vision of southern Rhône wines—bright, poised, and full of soul.
