Description
Since 1991, “Les Jamelles” has been produced by siblings Catherine and Laurent Delaunay, two winemakers from Burgundy whose family has been producing wine for four generations. After working in California they both fell under the charm of the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the South of France.
The Pays d’Oc (Languedoc-Roussillon), the biggest vineyard region in the world, boasts a wide range of geographic features, from the sunny beaches on the Mediterranean sea to the plains of Béziers, to the banks of the Rhône to the Pyrenees mountains. As in Burgundy, the region offers an infinite of terroirs and microclimates, allowing very different wines to be produced.
The grapes, grown year upon year by local growers, are vinified on site as close as possible to the vineyards, under the watchful eye of Catherine Delaunay and her winemaking team. The most up-to-date techniques are used, and are adapted to suit the characteristics of each wine and each vintage. Whites are vinified in a blend of stainless steel and barrels. Red wines undergo a mix of carbonic maceration and longer traditional macerations, with a small amount of oak aging.
Our Sauvignon Blanc has a lovely pale yellow colour. It is rich and aromatic with intense scents of fruit (gooseberry, passion fruit, green tomatoe, wild strawberry and lemon). It also displays floral nuances (honeysuckle), and a mineral “flinty” scent from the limestone soil. It is very fresh on the palate with a good acidity and a natural hint of CO² which gives it freshness. Rich, round and well-balanced finish.
