2019 Tête de Cuvée Rouge 'Black Label', Domaine de la Jasse, Languedoc (magnum)
"...the 2019 Domaine de la Jasse, Tête de Cuvée from the Languedoc, available in magnums only. Made from 100 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon, it's full, rich and spicy with teasing hints of herbs and a long ripe finish. Superlative Sunday lunch fare."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine
La Jasse's premium cuvée is a Cabernet Sauvignon parcel selection, aged for 12 months in 220l barriques, adding aromas of woodsmoke and spice to the pronounced blackcurrant and plum fruit. Reminiscent perhaps of a loftier-priced claret, with profound black fruits, herbs, cedar and sweet spice. A wine of real posture and presence , with fabulously ripe fruits and just the right amount of freshness with finely knit tannins and a harmonious, rounded finish. Drink to 2028.
