Domaine Félines Jourdan

Claude Jourdan runs this estate, which is located not far from Meze. The family purchased the property in 1983, changing the name from Domaine Félines to Félines Jourdan as they did so. Although the domaine is probably best known for producing one of the better examples of Picpoul de Pinet, there are also a number of red varieties planted here. This is because as well as owning vines on the hilly slopes inland, the family also own some on the clay soils, nearer the sea, which are much better suited to red than white varieties.

The most significant wine produced here is the Picpoul de Pinet, first produced here in 1992, but there is also a range of decent Vin de Pays d'Oc. These include Les Romarins, made using a blend of 55% Syrah and 45% Grenache, as well as varietal Merlot and Grenache. There is also a late harvest Muscat. (15/3/04)

2002

Domaine Félines Jourdan Coteaux du Languedoc Picpoul de Pinet 2002: Picpoul de Pinet stands out as a source of white wine in the Coteaux du Languedoc, where red otherwise dominates. This is a fairly classic example. Minerals and sea salt on the nose of this moderately pale wine, with hints of shells, green vegetables and melons. A little weight on the palate, but otherwise this is a fresh, whistle-clean white with lovely acidity, notes of melon fruit and a good, grippy finish. 16/20 (March 2004) Label
