Château des Tourettes is a Rhone Valley estate run by two passionate winegrowers. Nothing predisposed Maine and Jean-Marie Guffens-Heynen, originally from Flanders, to create an estate which, in just a few years and through hard work, would become one of the most renowned in the world for the quality of its Vin de Pays de Vaucluse, apart from a shared passion for vines and wine and a particularly creative artistic sensibility.
