Tasting Notes

A beautifully mineral-driven Sauvignon Blanc with notes of pear, crisp apple and grapefruit. This is a nice alternative to Sancerre, with high acidity, concentrated citrus and classic Loire Valley stoney minerality. 

Les Pierres Plates is a single-vineyard wine made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes. All work at the vineyard is made by hand, including harvesting. The vine average 23 years of age. Fermentation and aging occurs in stainless steel. 

Kermit Lynch- When tasting the wines of Denis Jamain, it is clear that the appellation of Reuilly is experiencing a renaissance, moving far beyond its former status as the “poor man’s Sancerre.” Phylloxera ravaged the majority of the vineyards in the late 19th century, but Camille Rousseau (Denis’ maternal grandfather) had faith in the future of Reuilly. In 1935, he planted his first vines here, in addition to farming a large oak forest on the outskirts of town. Denis shares his grandfather’s passion. Though he studied in the US and speaks excellent English, he wanted nothing more than to return home to take over the family domaine. In 1990, Denis began adding to the family holdings. Today, he farms 17 hectares in the heart of the appellation.
