La Roche Bleue Jasnières Le Clos des Molières 2017 (750ml) Noiret

La Roche Bleue Jasnières Le Clos des Molières 2017 (750ml) Noiretle Clos des Molires from Domaine de la Roche Bleue is Sbastiens single vineyard bottling, from one of the most prized lieux dits in the appellation. The 2019 version is done in a Demi Sec style and offers up a refined aromatic constellation of sweet quince, fresh pineapple, lanolin, a hint of honeycomb, a beautiful base of chalky minerality, fruit blossoms and citrus peel. On the palate the wine is pure, full bodied, focused and gently sweet, with

licorice and chocolate all meld together in this sculpted yet dense Cabernet

but also finesse

1 / 3 fermented and macerated with the leece in neutral oak for 9 months

Juice in tank was moved to barrel after signs of ferment

Cultivation: Sustainable

incredibly aromatic and concentrated Malbec and its dense plum

As a wine pairing

this relatively dense second wine demonstrates how draconian the selection process has become for the top estates in Bordeaux in recent years

round and polished

Rich fruit aromas abound on the palate as the wine finishes with a slightly sweet flavor that is perfect for any occasion

FOOD MATCH:  This would go well with any kind of rustic herby dish - lamb stew
