2020 Barrique Blanc, Domaine de la Jasse, Languedoc
2020 Barrique Blanc, Domaine de la Jasse, Languedoc
When such craftsmanship and terroir savoir-faire is put to white wine, the results at Domaine de la Jasse are no less gratifying. And should not be missed.
Sourcing chardonnay fruit from the estates cooler sites in Limoux, Bruno Le Bretons Barrique Blanc is rendered a beautifully expressive, barrel-aged, authentically styled Burgundian white, and one wonderfully versatile with cuisine. Here, the nose is drawn to spring blossom, apricot, brioche and vanilla, and the palate layered with flavours of exotic fruit, clove, roasted hazelnut and buttered toast. For a chardonnay made in the far south of France so elegantly styled, Barrique Blanc is as much an achievement as it is a delight in the glass.
Domaine de la Jasse is situated some 15 kilometres from Montpellier in the heart of the Languedoc, the most dynamic wine area of Mediterranean France. Its name comes from the shelter and shade, known in the local dialect as jasse, provided by the Domaine’s iconic Plane tree.
This tree, which is over a century old, has provided the inspiration for the La Jasse trademark and logo. Today La Jasse, one of the leading domaines in the region, is recognised for its innovation and advanced techniques. The area is well known for attracting highly talented winemakers such as Bruno Le Breton, who has won numerous top awards with his La Jasse wines. Like the makers of ‘Super Tuscan’ wines, Bruno has chosen not to follow the restrictions of the appellation regulations, choosing instead the freedom provided under Vin de Pays d’Oc rules. This allows him to fully concentrate on creating ‘Super Cuvées’ of the highest possible quality at exceptionally low prices.
