2022 Rosé 'Coeur de Cuvée', Domaine de la Jasse, Languedoc
Move over, Provence. Domaine de la Jasse shows with another vintage the sheer prowess of the Languedoc for making supreme southern French rosé. That is to say luminous, pale-hued rosé wines that are elegant, refreshing, precise. Their 2022 Coeur de Cuvée is case and point: where soft, slow pressing of grenache and syrah extracts only the juice in the fruit’s core, giving the wine its exquisite delicacy and fine balance of natural freshness and depth of flavour.
Coeur de Cuvée’s expressive nose of creamy strawberry, citrus zest and palate bursting with juicy, tangy, spicy, summer-berry fruit, show a wine packed with all the sumptuous qualities that make this style of rosé so irresistible, so incredibly popular.
No wonder, too, given Domaine de La Jasse (located outside Montpellier) is today one of the leading estates in the region, renowned as it is for its innovation and advanced techniques. Which is why head winemaker Bruno Le Breton has won numerous awards for the expertise he expresses through his cuvées. Here, the 2022 Coeur de Cuvée is undeniably another example.
Reviews of the previous vintage:
"The 2020 Rosé Coeur de Cuvée de la Jasse is disarmingly appealing and resolutely Provencal in both colour and style. Produced from the very gentle first pressing of handpicked Grenache and Syrah, its light, delicate, fresh, spicy and full of ripe summer berry fruit."
