Château des Tourettes Vin de France Tinus Chardonnay Plateau de l'Aigle 2024

This ‘Grand Cru’ Luberon white is drawn from a single plot of Chardonnay on Tourette’s l’Aigle terroir, a limestone plateau where the Chardonnay grapes stand out for their intensity and freshness. From here, Guffens crafts prestigious, age-worthy Chardonnays from the south and releases this bottling with age to prove it. Aware of the natural richness and density gifted by his terroir, Jean-Marie Guffens chose to vinify only the purest and naturally tense free-run juices. He favoured a short aging in barrels (25% new) for eight months, before subsequent aging in concrete vats on fine lees for a further ten months.
