Domaine de DERNACUEILLETTE - Cuvée Jacques 2018
Domaine de Dernacueillette is located in Hautes Corbières, in Languedoc-Roussillon. In 2000, Guillaume Boussens took over the operation and the first two years were devoted to sales in cooperative cellars. The first harvest on his behalf took place in September 2003. The plots are located on the Termenes terroir, made up of 9 different soil structures, between 360 and 690 meters above sea level.
The Cuvée Jacques is a cuvée created in honor of the birth of the son of Guillaume and Christelle, born the day before the 2012 harvest. A new vintage, on the occasion of an exceptional year, sees the light of day in 2018 and comes, like a sign, to crown the 8th birthday of Jacques, celebrated on October 8th. It is made from Syrah (70%), Carignan (20%) and Grenache (10%) with low yields (13hL/ha). It is aged for 26 months in vats.
Grape varieties: 70% Syrah, 20% Carignan, 10% Grenache
