Domaine de la Roche Bleue, Cuvée Cornille, 2015

Jasnières is so rare, it’s almost mythical. Especially when it comes to the really good stuff. Produced in Northern France, in a tough climate where in some years, yields can be almost non existent. Yet in these harsh conditions, certain. artisans push on, because when Jasnières can be mastered, the results are astonishingly good. Often considered to be the Grand Cru for Chenin Blanc, these wines are ethereal, brilliant, complex and utterly delicious.

The Cuvée Cornille has an additional six months in oak for extra richness and body. Brimming with golden toffee apple, pear, straw, nuts and spice. It’s a joy of a wine, rich and voluptuous in the glass, a wine that likes to open over time, showing new notes and flavours of hedonistic delight.

This wine will go brilliantly at Christmas and delight any discerning enthusiast or amateur alike.
