Roche Bleue 2024 Jasnières Clos des Molières

2024 is a great vintage for Chenin in the Loire, especially appellations like Anjou and Jasnières, and the Clos des Molières from Roche Bleue is a fine example! While the 2023 was richer and riper, wich a low level of residual sugar, the 2024 is perfectly dry and crystalline - great now, and should age beautifully! 

Considered the top wine from the Roche Bleue estate, this is 100% Chenin Blanc, from 40+ year-old vines on a slope of clay/silex soils on limestone, certified organic. Slow pressing of whole clusters, with minimum one year aging, mostly in 4 to 6 year-old barrels. subtle aromas of pear, dried herbs, almond, citrus and white pepper. The palate is dense but crystalline and intensly mineral with white fruits, almond, citrus and stone flavors. Serve now, decant if possible, with halibut, swordfish, monkfish, chicken in sauce, Asian foods and goat cheeses, or hold for 10+ years.
