2022 Vieilles Vignes Rouge, Domaine de la Jasse, Languedoc
The 2022 Vielles Vignes effort radiates the warmth and opulence of the vintage. Following a mild winter and an early, dry spring, healthy fruit set resulted, poised for a summer that was then notably hot, with several heatwaves.
However, with consistent winds to alleviate the extreme stress on the vines, rainfall and slightly cooler evenings in late August provided relief and allowed for optimal ripening and preserved freshness before harvest.
And because of this gorgeous level of ripeness, harvest began slightly earlier than usual. One which Bruno and his team have rendered rich, aromatic, full-bodied, beautifully layered and firmly structured. Fully approachable now, it’ll be happy to spend the next decade evolving into graceful maturity.

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)
