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.
Domaine de la Jasse is widely recognised for its technical expertise and innovative spirit, and is situated where such talented, award-winning craftsmen as Bruno Le Breton especially flourish. Outside traditional appellation restrictions, that is. This is why the estate is so at home within the simple, Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP) classification, where Bruno finds a greater expanse of possibilities and thus intensity of terroir expression. Expression that is ever present, every vintage, and in wines that are remarkably well priced.
