A free cuvée, changing face with each vintage, like a "White Label"-pressed vinyl with a very small print run-that's the idea behind this Vin de France cuvée freed from all constraints. The 2019 vintage sets the tone with 80-year-old Carignan aged in tank and barrel, with very little sulfite. The aromatic nose opens with fresh fruit and juniper, followed by a fresh, fleshy palate with great intensity. Relief!

About the domain :
A family-run wine estate since the 12th century, Château de Jonquières boasts a long line of 32 generations of winegrowers - a rare feat for the region! The wines of this estate, with their classic imprint, are always easily digestible and harmonious - a classicism that the new generation, now at the helm of the estate, does not intend to call into question, but to refine. Their dynamism and clear vision seem to pave the way for renewal. The expressive, easy-to-digest whites combine Chenin and Grenache Blanc. The reds age well, especially La Baronnie, which matures between two and eight years in bottle. Lansade, less consistent and precise, nonetheless seduces with its greediness.

Neither good nor bad. The structure quickly fades in the mouth. Not badly made, but doesn't stand out as anecdotal...
