Château des Tourettes - Tinus Chardonnay Plateau de l'Aigle 2019
16,5/20 Coup de Coeur
RVF
“A well-ripened Chardonnay with notes of yellow fruit, almonds, and dried fruit. The hint of reduction, which adds tension to the aromatic profile, brings the nose into focus, and the oak is well-integrated. The palate is full-bodied with a fairly broad mid-palate, yet the wine remains cohesive and beautifully full-bodied, with toasty nuances.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF)

About the wine:
A well-ripened Chardonnay with notes of yellow fruit, almonds, and dried fruit. A hint of reduction, which adds tension to the aromatic profile, brings the nose into focus, and the oak is well-integrated. The palate is full-bodied with a fairly broad mid-palate, yet the wine remains cohesive and beautifully full-bodied, with toasty nuances.
About the estate:
Château des Tourettes owns a lovely vineyard on the Apt plateau. Maine and Jean-Marie Guffens have almost entirely restructured the vineyard, demonstrating their commitment to creating a distinctive terroir through the replanting of mass-selected vines. The wines remain true to Jean-Marie Guffens’ style, consistently striking a balance between fully ripe grapes and a mineral tension on the finish. Jean-Marie and Maine are refocusing production on white wines and discontinuing the Guffens du Sud wine merchant business.
