2021 Barrique Blanc, Domaine de la Jasse, Languedoc (magnum)
For over 20 years, the wines of Domaine de la Jasse have been delighting our customers with their consistently high-quality wines of all styles. Every year they sell out and every new release is greeted with a chorus of cheers.
Whilst the Vieilles Vignes rouge delights many a Bordeaux lover, the Barrique Blanc offers Burgundian chardonnay lovers all the wonderful rich, ripe flavours of the Cte dOr, at a fraction of the price. In my opinion, there is no better priced barrel aged chardonnay around. So, treat yourself and everyone else this festive season and stock up while you can.

Tasting notes:
When turning his craftsmanship and terroir savoir-faire to chardonnay, Bruno renders us an elegant and expressive glass every bit as gratifying as his Vieilles Vignes. 'Barrique Blanc' (100% chardonnay, barrel-aged) is sourced from the estate's cooler sites in Limoux, where more temperate micro-climes make for the kind of raciness, concentration and finesse one enjoys in a white wine from the Côte de Beaune.
Le Breton's Barrique Blanc is simply a delight to the senses, giving as it does a nose of spring blossom, apricot, brioche and vanilla, and a palate layered with flavours of exotic fruit, clove, roasted hazelnut and buttered toast. A sumptuous pairing with all manner of cuisine.
