Domaine les maisons Rouges Jasnieres L'Eclos 2022

2022 is a sunny, abundant vintage. This wine corresponds perfectly to this gourmet vintage, with flowers and fruit in volume on the palate, while retaining tension and minerality. It's a wine to enjoy today, but also with the excellent ageing potential of great vintages.

Fermented and aged for 10 months in 400-l barrels.Natural vinification with no added yeast or additives. Light sulfiting at bottling.Biodynamic cultivation, weeding and scraping of the soil without ploughing to destroy soil structure.Short goblet pruning. Hand-harvested in September with crates.

Parcels and terroirs :
L'Éclos is made from the Clos des Molières, Clos de Barrières and Clos de la Richardière plots in the western part of the Jasnières appellation in the commune of Lhomme.

These plots are located on south-facing slopes in a terroir combining clays derived from the alteration of different geological strata of the tuffeau parent rock (the tuffeau of the Loir Valley is a sedimentary chalk from the Turonian period of the secondary era).

These clays and sands are laden with numerous flints and spongoliths, a characteristic feature of Jasnières.

These Chenin vines, aged between 10 and 40 years, are planted at a density of 7,500 vines/ha.
