Domaine du JONC BLANC - Fruit 2019
Le Jonc Blanc is located in the village of Vélines, in Dordogne. It has been owned by Isabelle Carles and her husband, Franck Pascal since 1999, when they decide to leave Paris to become winegrowers and winemakers. They cultivate 17 hectares of vines in certified biodynamic agriculture since 2009. The soil is mainly composed of limestone; white limestone from Castillon and yellow limestone from Astéries with a small band of marls from Ostréa between the two limestones terroirs. When making wines, minimal intervention is put in place; no inputs, indigenous yeasts, little or no sulfur, no fining, no filtration.
Fruit 2019 is a blend of Merlot (77%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (33%). The vinification is natural with indigenous yeasts and without oenological inputs. The extraction is carried out gently with manual punching down. Aging lasts 18 monthsin vats and old foudres, on fine lees.
Grape varieties: 77% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon
