Grape variety

Terroir(s)
Composed of grapes from five carefully selected terroirs, Les Jamelles Sauvignon Blanc derives its freshness and minerality from the Thau lagoon basin, the dried-up marsh of Marseillette, the Upper Aude Valley near Limoux, and the western Aude department.

In some of these zones, temperature variations are very pronounced with extremely hot days and very cool nights, allowing for the development of sought-after citrus aromas and flavours; while the grapes that grow on the slopes of the Orb Valley, north of Béziers, lend roundness to the wine.

Vinification
The grapes are harvested very early in the morning, even before daybreak. They are transported rapidly to the winery to be pressed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place quickly in stainless steel tanks with temperatures maintained between 18 and 20°C. Air contact is avoided.

Ageing on fine lees at low temperatures in a carbonic environment is brief, lasting just a few months. There is no malolactic fermentation so that the wine preserves all of its freshness. Our Sauvignon Blanc is one of our first varietal wines to be bottled.

Tasting
Doted with lovely pale colour, Les Jamelles Sauvignon Blanc is taut and aromatic with flavours of fruit (passion fruit, wild strawberry), citrus (pink grapefruit, lemon) along with vegetal notes (green tomato).

Description

Wines with a different spirit! ‘Les Jamelles’ is a unique collection of handcrafted varietal wines that have been produced in the Pays d’Oc, South of France, since 1995.

The wines have won praise from the press throughout the world for their excellent quality, placing them in a class of their own. Created by nature and the work of talented men and women, ‘Les Jamelles’ wines offer a real handcrafted quality… the simplicity of authentic products… a different spirit.

The wide variety of wines the Les Jamelles range boasts is only possible due to the diversity of the terroirs and grape varieties that the Languedoc region has to offer. This unique area of production, covering approximately 223,000 hectares, produces 12 million hectolitres of wine per year. It is one of the world’s largest winegrowing regions!

An immense amphitheatre facing the sea, the Languedoc-Roussillon is a multi-faceted region, shaped by coastal zones, mountains, crests and higher-altitude terroirs. Between the Pyrenees to the south-west, the Cévennes to the north-east, the Montagne Noire to the north-west and the Mediterranean coast to the south, the 58 grape varieties authorized by the IGP Pays d’Oc label benefit from a wide diversity of ideal locations that allow them to express their full potential.

Within this immense region, let us set off on a discovery of the production areas that Catherine and her team have selected over the course of the last twenty-five years. These are the terroirs that truly showcase the different grape varieties and bring out their best! Enjoy browsing!
