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!

This cuvée comes from a parcel of old vines that are particularly well cared for, since all machinery has been banned here – all work is carried out by hand and with horses. The yields are particularly low, around 20 hectolitres/hectare. Vinified in 400-600 litre barrels, this single-parcel cuvée gives off floral aromas of acacia and exotic, fruity notes, making way for a palate that is at once fresh, lightly silky, dense and fruity. A gastronomic wine to be appreciated with dishes of white meat, scallops or fresh goats’ cheese.
