Guffens au Château des Tourettes - Bien Entendu Marsanne Roussanne 2013
15,5/20
Bettane & Desseauve
This beautiful cuvée harmoniously blends Marsanne and Roussanne grapes and is very precise on the nose, revealing aromas of flint and chalk. The palate is quite rich at first, then evolves into a very clear and precise finish. A very pleasant, fresh, and precise white wine, ideal with escargots, for example...

Wine rated (2016 guide) 15,5/20 (Very good wine)
About wine:
Richer than the classic cuvée, it retains its frank expression and purity. Noble aromas of acacia and obvious clarity.

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.

A marvel: exuberant and tense, floral and fruity. As is often the case, a great success for Maison Verget. A truly wonderful tasting experience.

Precise, pure, but rather short on flavor. Q/P 3.0
