RVF
"A ripe Chardonnay with yellow fruit, almonds and dried fruit. The touch of reduction that tautens the aromatic phase refocuses the nose, the oak is well managed. The palate is full-bodied, with a rather broad core, but the juice remains coherent and full-bodied, with toasty nuances". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF)

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated wine (guide 2021) 16,5/20 Coup de Coeur
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
A ripe Chardonnay with yellow fruit, almonds and dried fruit. The touch of reduction that tautens the aromatic phase refocuses the nose, and the woodiness is well managed. The palate is full-bodied, with a rather broad core, but the juice remains coherent and full-bodied, with toasty nuances.
About the domain :
Château des Tourettes has a lovely vineyard on the Apt plateau. Maine and Jean-Marie Guffens have restructured almost the entire vineyard, asserting their determination to create a beautiful terroir by replanting with massal selections. The wines are faithful to Jean-Marie Guffens' style, always offering the right balance between ripe grapes and mineral tension on the finish. Jean-Marie and Maine refocus production on whites, and put an end to the Guffens du Sud négoce.
