2023 Vieilles Vignes Rouge, Domaine de la Jasse, Languedoc
Order now for the best price
A fragrant, finely poised nose of ripe cassis, blackberry and dark berry coulis, layered with liquorice, subtle woodsmoke and sweet spice. The palate is generous and supple, with ripe blackcurrant and plum lifted by bright acidity from cooler nights. Fine-grained, integrated tannins add structure and length, delivering a harmonious, elegant Vieilles Vignes of warmth, freshness and balance.
The 2023 season at La Jasse brought shifting conditions including a prolonged dry spell yet the estates sustainable, vineyard-first approach ensured the vines remained healthy and balanced. Careful water management and the favourable rhythm of warm days followed by cooler nights encouraged slow, even ripening ideal for building structure, concentration and freshness.
The resulting 2023 Vieilles Vignes is deliciously expressive. Smaller, intensely flavoured berries have delivered impressive richness and purity of dark fruit, while the cooler evenings of late summer lend the wine a vibrant lift. Ripe, supple tannins provide structure without weight, and the overall balance makes the wine both enticingly drinkable now and full of promise for graceful ageing. A vintage defined by resilience and precision and a Vieilles Vignes that captures both with charm, depth and undeniable quality.

We love this wine, it never disappoints
A regular wine for everyday drinking. Complex with a good length. Excellent quality wine.
this is one one of the best bines obtainable from the Languedoc
The most fabulous wine, delicious, full bodied and much enjoyed. We recently had friends for dinner and this wine was served with roast duck. Fantastic and loved by all. (previous vintage)
Very good wine (previous vintage)
Lovely wine when you want something tasty but not posh - really lovely complexity of flavour and fruit, with the sunshine of the south of France making this my go-to red wine to have with a weeknight meal. Tastes much more expensive than it is! (previous vintage)
A most enjoyable wine, smartly presented. Very happy to deal with Mr. Wheeler, good communications and quality wines. (previous vintage)
