This beautiful cuvée harmoniously blends Roussanne and Viognier, revealing a powerful and complex nose marked by exotic fruit aromas. A wine that reveals a very full-bodied, fresh, and elegant palate with significant structure. A very pleasant, fresh, and precise white wine, ideal with escargots, for example...

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.
