Wine:

Made only from the highest quality and freshest juices, vinified in barrels with 20% of new wood, the 2021 White Vin de France Tinus Chardonnay Plateau de l'Aigle delivers the quintessence of its grape variety and of its high altitude terroir. The nose is very pure, toasted and smoky, and is supported by a "haute couture" maturation, prolonged on the lees in barrels and then in concrete tanks. The palate is full-bodied, concentrated, persistent and precise... A gastronomic wine, in the spirit of a great Burgundy; the Bâtard-Montrachet of the south of France!

An absolute reference in the Mâconnais, elevated by the French press to the rank of "the greatest chardonnay winemaker in the world", Jean-Marie Guffens explodes all standards. His whites are lined up alongside the most prestigious Burgundian domains and all wine lovers know the value of his vintages. 

His dexterity always pushes him to explore new ways and he is particularly adept at sculpting unique and original wines such as this Tinus collection roussanne, born at Château des Tourettes, his estate in the Luberon region managed by Jean-Marie and Maine Guffens on limestone rich terroirs located at 400 meters of altitude.
