Guffens au Château des Tourettes - Rouge Enfin 2004
Long regarded as a “white wine producer,” Jean-Marie Guffens launched a great red wine in 2004—“Finally!” people exclaimed here and there. The name of this cuvée is therefore perfectly fitting, and it is undoubtedly a lovely wine, with subtle toasty and fruity notes (dark fruits), good freshness, round tannins, and a perfectly balanced and easy-drinking palate. It embodies the quintessence of Guffens’ expertise, showcasing a rich and nuanced terroir. A beautiful bottle to enjoy right away!

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.
