Chenin Blanc by Jousset
Discover the genius of Lise & Bertrand Jousset
5 different Chenins Blanc
Established in the Loire Valley, France in 2003, they were determined to grow and make the best Chenin Blanc possible. The Jousset’s fundamental and profound respect for nature led them to exclude herbicides and pesticides in favor of the balance that biological diversity promises down to the microscopic level. They believe that to make an original wine it is necessary to have living soils with high microbial activity, a “living” vine, and a balanced life between plants and animals in all of the domain’s parcels.

A rare aged pet-nat! Beautifully developed aromas of honey, baked apple, flowers and mushrooms wrapped in yeasty notes of baked pastry. The palate starts off smooth and fresh, becomes rich mid-way and finishes tight and chalky.
Premier Rendez-Vous 2018
Region: Montlouis-sur-Loire, France
Grapes: Chenin Blanc

Premier Rendez-Vous 'Version Longue' 2017
Region: Montlouis-sur-Loire, France
Grapes: Chenin Blanc
Style: Deep and mineral white
Flavours of pear, peach, lemon, orange, honey, lavender and stony salt, bits of pineapple and baking spices in the mix as well. The body has a rich texture, slenderized by a nice crisp finish. With such complexity, this wine deserves the company of a fine piece of fish or a delicate white meat dish.
Singulier 'Clos aux Renards' 2017
Region: Montlouis-sur-Loire, France
Grapes: Chenin Blanc
Style: Creamy and structured white
This is a wonderfully elegant Chenin Blanc showing a bright pale-gold colour and beautiful aromas of creamy citrus, dried pear, fresh herbs, stone and smoke. There is an impression of sweetness but the palate is dry with ripe pear, peach and apricot fruit with stone and mineral flavours, chalky texture and fabulous length.
