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.

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.
