"Blackcurrant, cedar, graphite and white flowers mingle with subtle oak, with precision and tension in the tannin. More virile than the cuvée d'endes, this selection of syrah, grenache and cabernet-sauvignon now expresses the serious side of the latter. Future assured.

About the wine:

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (2022 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
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.

Poorly structured wine, with few aromas, present tannins and high alcohol concentration.

I don't really agree with Bettane and Dessauve's comments. A wine without aromatic richness, even if it is good. Q/P 2.8
