15,5/20
Bettane & Desseauve
This lovely blend of Marsanne and Roussanne is very precise on the nose, revealing aromas of gunflint and chalk. On the palate, the wine is initially quite rich, before evolving to a very limpid, precise finish. A very pleasant, fresh and precise white, ideal with snails, for example...

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2016 guide) 15.5/20 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
Richer than the cuvée classic, it retains its frankness of expression and purity. Noble acacia aroma and clear clarity.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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 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.

A marvel: exuberant and taut, floral and fruity. As always, a great success from Maison Verget. A wonderful tasting experience

Precise, pure, but rather short on flavor. Q/P 3.0
