Jonc-Blanc

Jonc-Blanc is run by Isabelle Carles and Franck Pascal, who describe themselves as "peasant winemakers". This exemplary winemaking couple have a solid technical background and a mindset in keeping with the best of the Appellation d'Origine philosophy, and produce carefully-crafted, straightforward Bergerac cuvées. Very early on, they opted for clean farming. The vineyard, located in Vélines, comprises 16.5 hectares of vines cultivated organically and biodynamically, and certified Demeter since 2008, the year of conversion.

All Jonc-Blanc wines are "natural", with no freeze-dried yeast used for fermentation. Bottling is carried out after long maturation periods, with no added sulfur, on lees, and without disruptive physical processes such as fining or filtration. Today, Jonc-Blanc has established itself as one of the finest estates in the Bergerac region, embodying its revival.
