"A quality juice. The wine is ripe, without excess, with a certain freshness, a flavorful dimension and good concentration. It's long and drawn out." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2020 - RVF) This original blend of 1/3 Cabernet-Sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah comes from Château des Tourettes, which has terroirs at altitude (around 400m) with limestone-rich soils. A must-taste!

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (guide 2020) 16,5/20 Coup de Coeur
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Quality juice. The wine is ripe, without excess, with a certain freshness, a savory dimension and good concentration. Long and drawn out.
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 true 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.
