Domaine de la Roche Bleue - Jasnieres - 2022

This organic Jasnières from Domaine de la Roche Bleue has a clear, limpid color. The nose is ripe, developing notes of candied pear and minerality. Domaine de la Roche Bleue is a small estate of 7 hectares, but big in terms of the quality of its wines. Yields here are very moderate, at around 30 hl/ha, and the estate is farmed organically, with a biodynamic approach. Domaine de la Roche Bleue is located in the northernmost appellations of the Loire Valley: Jasnières and Coteaux du Loir. Sébastien Cornille, the winemaker, is originally from Sancerre. Balance is sought right from the vineyard, with harvesting at just the right ripeness to conserve aromatic potential and obtain dynamic, precise wines, without losing the expression of terroir. A superb discovery!
