Bettane & Desseauve
"A lovely aromatic palette with brightness and freshness. The nose is much fresher in 2016 than in 2017. The juice is racy, with good depth and a vinosity faithful to the south, but the mineral imprint is there. It is more tense than the 2017. " (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2020 - RVF) A wine of character and interest, without a doubt!

About wine:
It evokes very ripe citrus fruits and yellow fruits, pear, and quince. Concentrated, tangy, and complex, its light botrytized notes give it a balancing bitterness. A wine of character and interest.

About wine:
A lovely aromatic palette with brightness and freshness. The nose is much fresher in 2016 than in 2017. The juice is racy, with good scope and a vinosity faithful to the south, but the mineral imprint is there. It is more tense than the 2017.
About the estate:
Château des Tourettes has a beautiful vineyard on the Apt plateau. Maine and Jean-Marie Guffens have almost completely restructured the vineyard, affirming their desire to create a beautiful terroir through massal selection replanting. The wines are faithful to Jean-Marie Guffens' style, always offering a balance between ripe grapes and a mineral tension on the finish. Jean-Marie and Maine are refocusing production on whites and putting an end to the Guffens du Sud négociant business.
