Château de Jonquières - Lansade 2012
15,5/20
RVF
A new vintage, the 2011 was rated: RVF 15.5/20
The five grape varieties of Terrasses du Larzac come together in this cuvée to express the terroir and the fruit. A wine that reveals a very expressive and balanced nose, offering on the palate the freshness so characteristic of this terroir. A Coteaux du Languedoc that pairs perfectly with a fine cut of red meat.

About the estate:
A family-owned vineyard dating back to the 12th century, Château de Jonquières boasts a long lineage of 32 generations of winemakers—a rarity for the region! The estate’s wines, with their classic character, remain consistently easy to drink and harmonious—a classic style that the new generation, now at the helm of the estate, has no intention of challenging but rather of refining. Their dynamism and clear vision seem to be paving the way for a new era. The whites, expressive and easy to drink, blend Chenin and Grenache Blanc. The reds age well, particularly La Baronnie, which refines over two to eight years in the bottle. Lansade, while less consistent and precise, nevertheless charms with its rich, indulgent character.
