Guffens au Château des Tourettes - Bien Entendu Roussanne Viognier d'Aigle 2009
This cuvée comes from a vineyard plot known as "Plateau de l'Aigle," where Roussanne ( 70%) and Viognier ( 30%) are planted on low-fertility limestone soil, resulting in low yields. The result is a complex wine where the aromas of fleshy fruits like peach delicately blend with peppery notes. Its palate, rich and smooth, expresses itself with power while remaining precise!

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or 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 balancing fully ripened grapes with 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.
