“A lovely array of aromas, full of vibrancy and freshness. The nose is much fresher in the 2016 than in the 2017. The wine is elegant, with good depth and a character typical of the south, yet the mineral notes are clearly present. It is more taut than the 2017. ” (The Guide to the Best Wines of France 2020 – RVF) Undoubtedly a wine of character and interest!

Wine rated 16.5/20 (Benchmark wine)

About the wine:

It evokes very ripe citrus fruits and yellow fruits, such as pear and quince. Concentrated, tart, and complex, its subtle botrytis notes lend it a balancing bitterness. A wine with character and depth.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

A lovely array of aromas, full of vibrancy and freshness. The nose is much fresher in 2016 than in 2017. The wine is elegant, with good depth and a character typical of the south, yet the mineral notes are clearly present. It is more taut than the 2017.

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 massal selections. The wines remain true to Jean-Marie Guffens’s style, consistently striking a balance between fully ripe grapes and a mineral edge on the finish. Jean-Marie and Maine are refocusing production on white wines and discontinuing the Guffens du Sud wine trading business.
