In 2004, Jean-Marie Guffens launched a great red wine called "Enfin!" (Finally!), the estate's first red. It is a lovely wine with subtle toasted and fruity notes (black fruits), good freshness, round tannins, and a perfectly balanced and easy-to-drink palate. Guffens' expertise at the service of a rich and nuanced terroir. A beautiful bottle to be enjoyed without delay!

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

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.

I haven't found anything better in terms of value for money. This wine is rich, fruity, and complex. Rich and concentrated. Surprising.
