Guffens - Château des Tourettes - Bien Entendu Chardonnay 2007
Rhône
White
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
This Cuvée "Bien Entendu" Chardonnay comes from a plot with very chalky soil and not too hot, which ensures slow ripening and perfectly balanced wines. The 2007 vintage is very dense, fresh and long on the palate. It is certainly one of the best wines of the year (Burgundy wines included). Don't hesitate to buy it! Screw cap.

Expert opinion
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 great Chardonnay that I find myself liking more and more. Fruity, mineral and soft, what more could you ask for?
