Guffens au Château des Tourettes - Bien Entendu Marsanne Roussanne 2013
15,5/20
Bettane & Desseauve
This lovely wine, a harmonious blend of Marsanne and Roussanne, has a very precise nose, revealing aromas of flint and chalk. The palate is initially quite rich, then evolves into a very clean and precise finish. A very pleasant, fresh, and precise white wine, ideal with snails, for example...

Wine rated (2016 guide) 15,5/20 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
Richer than the Classic vintage, it retains its straightforward character and pure profile. It offers noble aromas of acacia and is clearly defined.

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 tasting 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 mass-selected vines. The wines remain true to Jean-Marie Guffens’s style, consistently balancing fully ripened grapes with a mineral edge on the finish. Jean-Marie and Maine are refocusing production on white wines and discontinuing the Guffens du Sud wine merchant business.

A marvel: exuberant and crisp, floral and fruity. As is often the case, a great success from Maison Verget. A truly delightful tasting experience

Clean, pure, but with a rather short finish. Value for money: 3.0
