Tasting Notes
Leave it to Jean-Marie Guffens to make something this fun. It's a red built from Syrah and Cabernet, left overnight on the pressed skins of old-vine Grenache to soak up a bit of extra colour, fruit and structure, then aged in concrete to keep everything fresh and lively. The name is a cheeky nod to that one-night fling with the Grenache, and the wine lives up to it, vividly fruity and popping with peppery spice and red berries before a moreish finish. A proper bistro red and an absolute joy to drink. - Aaron C
Jean-Marie Guffens is a figure that won't need much of an introduction to many of - he is best know as the founder and winemaker of the incredible Guffens-Heynen wines in Macon. Jean-Marie; however, has efforts outside this estate as well, representing amazing value in the context of French Chardonnay. Maison Verget is his micro-negoce label in which he sources fruit predominantly from Mâcon, with supplementary sources from serious, like-minded growers in Chablis and southern France. Chateau des Tourettes is his southernmost venture, sourcing fruit from the underrated terroirs of southern France around Provence!
