Montlouis-sur-Loire Trait d'Union Lise et Bertrand Jousset 2018

The wine

From a parcel of vines between 60 and 80 years old, this wine is a demi-sec produced using over-ripe grapes. It is vinified in used barrels and has a dosage of 23 grams of residual sugar per litre. This a superb, sweet wine that will pair nicely with foie gras or refined goats’ cheese.

About the Producer Lise et Bertrand Jousset

Domaine Lise et Bertrand Jousset was founded in Montlouis-sur-Loire in 2004. The vineyard, which spans around 8 hectares of vines aged between 5 and 100 years, is grown organically, largely following biodynamic principles. On certain parcels, machines are banned, with work carried out only by hand or with horses. The harvests are also carried out by hand. In the winery, the processes are very natural with little intervention, with a pressing that is slow and gentle. No additives are used aside from very small doses of sulphur. Vinification takes place in barrels of 225, 400 and 600 litres with a maximum of 10% new wood in order to avoid marking the wine. The iDealwine has found a particular favourite in the wines of Lise and Bertrand Jousset, their cuvées being frank, flavoursome, elegant and precise. Some truly fine Loire Chenins!
