Denis Jamain, Reuilly,
Drink now,
Les Pierres Plates Blanc consistently outshines many wines from the more prestigious appellations of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. That’s no surprise when one considers the vineyard’s superb terroir. The 2017 is showing brilliantly now: it’s bright and expressive on the nose, with lashings of citrus fruit, as well as subtle tropical and savoury notes. The palate may be relatively round and generous, in keeping with the warm vintage, but there’s plenty of acidity, and a steely, mineral character to the long finish. This is impeccably balanced. Drink now to 2021.

Denis Jamain, Reuilly,
Drink now,
This fabulous rosé is made exclusively from Pinot Gris, grown in the Chatillons vineyard, which Denis harvests first to deliver a wine with great freshness, as well as texture and complexity. On the nose, expect aromas of rose petal, red fruit and an intriguing hint of orange peel. Four months on its fine lees adds a touch more weight to the palate. A versatile food wine, it works particularly well with poached salmon. Drink now to 2020.

Denis Jamain owns 15ha of vineyards in the Loire wine appellation of Reuilly, about 10% of the entire appellation. The vines are planted on gentle slopes of limestone and clay.
The estate applies the principles of la lutte raisonée. Denis works with the three permitted varieties of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir.
The domaine‘s wines are vinified in a very modern, temperature-controlled winery which is equipped with thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. Each vineyard parcel is vinified separately with full traceability.
