Château des Tourettes - Tinus Marsanne-Roussanne 2021
91/100
RVF
“A well-rounded profile, dominated by Marsanne, with notes of beeswax, dried fruit, and a hint of honey. The patina of the oak lends a certain smoothness. The palate is full-bodied and vinous, with a broad mid-palate nicely balanced by lovely bitter notes.” (Le Guide RVF 2024).

About the wine:
This wine displays a well-rounded profile, dominated by Marsanne with notes of beeswax, dried fruit, and a hint of honey. The aged oak adds a certain smoothness. On the palate, it is full-bodied and vinous, with a broad mid-palate that is well balanced by lovely bitter notes.
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.
