Château des Tours Brouilly

Brouilly is the largest of the ten Beaujolais Crus – and Château des Tours is one of the wineries that shows what Gamay is truly capable of in this location: not a light drinking wine, but a red wine with substance and length.

The winery is located directly at the foot of Mont Brouilly and is managed by the Ravier family. The vines grow on volcanic bluestone (syenite), a rock that gives the Gamay a mineral depth rarely found in other parts of Beaujolais.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby red. On the nose, blackberry, dark cherry, and a hint of violet, underscored by a subtle earthy tone. On the palate, fruity and juicy, with pleasantly soft tannins and a lively acidity that keeps the wine light-footed despite its density. The finish is medium-long, with a slightly mineral note.

Serving temperature 14–16 °C. Pairs well with grilled lamb, entrecôte, mushroom risotto, or a hearty charcuterie board.

The finish is medium-long and carries a slightly mineral note. It fits the origin: The vines grow at the foot of Mont Brouilly on volcanic bluestone (syenite). The Ravier family runs the winery. Brouilly is the largest of the ten Beaujolais Crus.

What does the Château des Tours Brouilly pair with?

The Château des Tours Brouilly pairs with grilled lamb, entrecôte, and mushroom risotto. A hearty charcuterie board also goes well with its fruit and acidity. The soft tannins leave room for meat without masking it.

Furthermore, it is versatile. It accompanies pork, poultry, veal, beef, goose, and game. It brings freshness to pasta, vegetables, and salad. Even fish, seafood, tapas, and Asian dishes are possible because the acidity enlivens and the tannins remain restrained.

Serve the Brouilly at 14 to 16 °C. This fits a barbecue evening in summer just as well as a risotto on an autumn evening or a meal together with several courses.

Quick answers

The Château

Château des Tours

Château des Tours is one of the quiet secrets of the southern Rhône. Behind the name is the Reynaud family – winemakers since 1935, today represented by Emmanuel Reynaud, who also manages the legendary Château Rayas.

From the Vacqueyras and Côtes du Rhône appellations come wines that do not need a big stage. They impress with depth, calm, and a naturalness that is rarely found today. Red or white – every sip tells of soils that the family has known and understood for generations.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
