Domaine De Belliviere Jasnieres Les Rosiers Sec 2023

Domaine de Bellivière’s Jasnières “Les Rosiers” Sec 2023 is a refined Loire Valley white made from Chenin Blanc, despite the product classification indicating red wine. It combines the cool-climate freshness and mineral character of Jasnières with the depth and texture that have made Domaine de Bellivière one of the appellation’s most respected producers.

Tasting Notes
Bright and pale in appearance, the wine shows the clarity and energy typical of young Chenin Blanc. Its aromatic profile is likely to reveal orchard fruit, citrus, white flowers and subtle mineral nuances, with the cool, stony character of Jasnières adding precision. On the palate, expect a dry, lively style with crisp acidity, flavours of pear, green apple and lemon, and a gently rounded texture. Mineral length and a refreshing finish make it particularly expressive at the table. While enjoyable in its youth, the wine should develop added complexity over several years, with mature Chenin Blanc often gaining notes of honey, wax and baked fruit.

Production
The wine comes from Jasnières, a small Loire Valley appellation in the Sarthe, where cool conditions and flinty, clay-influenced soils help Chenin Blanc retain pronounced acidity and mineral definition. Domaine de Bellivière is known for careful, low-intervention viticulture, including biodynamic farming, and for harvesting Chenin Blanc by hand. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented naturally, with maturation in a combination of barrel and larger vessels to preserve freshness while building texture. Specific cellar details for the 2023 cuvée may vary by release.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine to open slightly in the glass. Its dry, high-acid profile is an excellent match for oysters, mussels, grilled fish, goat’s cheese, roast chicken and vegetable dishes with herbs or cream-based sauces. Decanting is not essential for this youthful wine, although a short decant or 20–30 minutes in a large glass can help reveal its aromatic depth.

Producer
Founded by Eric and Christine Nicolas, Domaine de Bellivière has played a significant role in the modern renaissance of Jasnières and nearby Coteaux du Loir. The estate is recognised for its biodynamic approach, meticulous parcel selection and expressive Chenin Blancs, which range from dry and mineral to richly sweet. Its wines are widely regarded among the finest and most distinctive examples of these small Loire appellations.
