Domaine de la Jasse, Une Belle Histoire 2022
Languedoc, France, Dry White, DIAM, 11.5% abv(2024) Refreshing is the word here, for an unusual wine made from 100% Rolle (the local name for the grape also known as Vermentino) and in a pétillant style, that is, gently spritzy rather than fully sparkling. A little melon and peach joins nettle and much drier, apple core aromas. Featherweight in the mouth through that delicate bubble and fresh style, and its modest 11.5% alcohol, it is dry, a little Muscat-like perhaps, with plenty salts and citrus acid. Unusual and really rather nice for this summer. Watch the video for more information.
