The wine
This Jasnières is produced as a dry or off-dry wine depending on the year. The grapes are cultivated on a flint-rich terroir of limestone and clay with a superb south and south-west facing aspect. The wine is fermented in barriques and matured in the same containers for 20 months. It is astonishingly pure and vibrant with notes of citrus zest and sweet spice and an elegant, bitter finish.
About the Producer Domaine de Bellivière
Domaine de Bellivière was founded by éric and Christine Nicolas in 1995, with 5.5 hectares of vines in Coteaux-du-Loir. They gradually expanded their vineyard, buying parcels in the Jasnières appellation until their holdings amounted to a dozen hectares. In 2015, their son Clément has joined them in the vineyard. A wonderful address and a must for anyone looking to rediscover the forgotten terroirs of Sarthe.
