The estate and the wine |
|
|
The absolute elite of the Mâconnais region, elevated by the French press to the rank of “the greatest chardonnay winemaker in the world”, Jean-Marie Guffens is an icon. His white wines are lined up alongside the most prestigious Burgundian estates and all wine aficionados know the value of his precious vintages.
His dexterity and keen eye lead him to explore new trends and vinification processes and he proves particularly adept at sculpting original and unique wines, like this Chardonnay from the Tinus Collection, born at Château des Tourettes, the Luberon property of Jean-Marie and Maine Guffens, located on limestone-rich terroirs at an altitude of 400 meters. |

A model of craftsmanship, the 2020 White Vin de France Tinus Viognier Plateau de l'Aigle delivers the quintessence of its grape variety in an incisive, tapered approach, with pure jasmine notes that are both fine and intense. With all the dexterity of Jean-Marie Guffens, this white wine profiles a fruity, balanced palate. We appreciate its persistence and freshness, perfect for the beginning of a meal or a baked fish. |
