Les Jamelles, Chenin Blanc, Blanc, 2025
Presentation
- A blend of two terroirs: limestone from the Aude plain for freshness and schist from the Cévennes for complexity and minerality.
- A rare varietal : representing less than 1% of total white wine production in the Pays d’Oc.
- Defined by its finesse, minerality, and complexity.
Terroir
Our Chenin Blanc comes from two terroirs: the Aude plain near Limoux, with clay-limestone soils for elegance and freshness, and the Cévennes foothills, where schist soils enhance complexity and minerality. The Mediterranean climate, tempered by oceanic breezes, provides ideal sunshine for slow ripening while maintaining the wine's freshness.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested late at night to preserve their freshness and aromas. Fermentation at low temperatures in temperature-controlled tanks is followed by a short aging on fine lees, adding roundness and complexity while maintaining freshness. The wine is bottled in spring to ensure its liveliness and minerality.

Tasting
With its golden-yellow color, Les Jamelles Chenin Blanc combines freshness and minerality. The vibrant nose reveals citrus (lemon, pink grapefruit), pear, green apple, and a delicate floral hint of acacia. On the palate, its liveliness and mineral tension shine elegantly, leading to a finish of candied lemon, mint, and flint.
