Domaine de la Roche Bleue, Jasnières Sec, 2016
Jasnières is so rare, it’s almost mythical. Especially when it comes to the really good stuff. Produced in Northern France, in a tough climate where in some years, yields can be almost non existent. Yet in these harsh conditions, certain artisans push on, because when Jasnières can be mastered, the results are astonishingly good. Often considered to be the Grand Cru for Chenin Blanc, these wines are ethereal, brilliant, complex and utterly delicious.
The ‘Sec’ is one of the younger wines in the line up of pure Chenin Blanc’s from Sébastien. It has a racy acidity, which means its bright and fresh and zippy, bursting with energy. The fruit is electric, pear, stone fruit, tropical. Mixed with hay and straw and plenty of green, slightly bruised, apple.
This wine will go brilliantly at Christmas and delight any discerning enthusiast or amateur alike.
Notes: Dry, Zesty, Light Bodied
Pairings: River Fish, Goats Cheese
