The successor to La Roque, La Jasse is probably the finest expression of a Muscat de macération. It's a very refreshing white, revealing floral notes and a beautiful structure. Another fine white from Domain Gauby!

Rated (guide 2017) 17/20 + Coup de Coeur (Vintage 2015) (Reference wine)
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated wine (guide 2017) 17/20 (Vintage 2015) (Great wine)
Domain rated (guide 2024) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of French vineyards. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment)
About the domain :
Since his beginnings in the mid-1980s, Gérard Gauby has been an inspiring, demanding and passionate winemaker. His vines are cultivated with love and respect for plants and the ecosystem. He has revealed to the world the complexity and potential of Calce's ferruginous limestone and schist terroir. The winemaker has also succeeded in evolving his style towards less elevated, purer and more airy wines. Accompanied by his son, he continues this quest, with his cuvées gaining in expression and deliciousness. The whites are straightforward, with superb longevity and controlled ageing. The reds are pure and deep. The 2021s are top-of-the-range in both colors.

Very disappointed by this vintage...I find the pellicular maceration too strong, to the detriment of the delicacy of the dry Muscat.

Disappointing wine. Undefinable taste, almost like a rosé.

Note and review by M. JACQUES B. Published on 16/08/2017
A very surprising white in terms of color and initial nose (smell of cider). There's a hint of apple, followed by a light, not very strong, refreshing wine. Trust this winemaker, even if a doubt remains at the bottom of the bottle.
