Guffens at Château des Tourettes - Finally, the 2009 Grande Trilogie

Guffens au Château des Tourettes - Enfin Grande Trilogie 2009

IGP Vaucluse|Red wine

3.5/5 (10 customers)

In 2004, Jean-Marie Guffens launched a premium red wine called “Enfin!”, the estate’s first red. A lovely wine with subtle toasty and fruity notes (dark fruits), good freshness, round tannins, and a perfectly balanced, easy-drinking palate. The Guffens expertise brings out the best in a rich and nuanced terroir. A wonderful bottle to enjoy right away!

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 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.

Review by Mr. CEDRIC R. Posted on July 21, 2016

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