All of Dominique’s cru wines are based on soil type and are done in barrel with a longer elevage. La Jouline is sourced from 1 hectare of vines planted in 1975 solely on the caillottes at the highest elevation in the village.
Dominique Roger’s Sancerre Cuvée La Jouline (often labeled under Domaine du Carrou) is a highly-regarded, premium white Sancerre sourced from >60-year-old vines in the stony Bué terroir. Reviews highlight a complex, structured Sauvignon Blanc, typically featuring intense mineral, citrus, and white-flower notes, with a creamy finish from subtle barrel aging.
Key Takeaways & Tasting Notes:
- Structure: Known for being a rich, concentrated, and complex style of Sancerre. It offers a delicate balance of high-toned acidity and a "chalky spine," making it both intense and precise.
- Vinification: The wine is fermented and aged using roughly 60% stainless steel and 40% older barrels. This technique brings a subtle,, well-dosed vanillin touch to the palate.
- Terroir: Sourced from the prestigious Chene Marchand parcel, a southern-facing slope in Bué with stony caillottes soil.
- Pairings: Ideal with shellfish, crustaceans, grilled fish, or traditional Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese.
