Domaine Jaulin-Plaisantin: Tasting & Drinking
This is a young domaine, only really established with the 2011 vintage. Although some of Sébastien Jaulin’s vines are old, and he has some valuable experience, it is with the arrival of Yves Plaisantin that this sleeper has suddenly awoken. And everything has been turned on its head here now; the vines are suddenly organic, the wines are now vinified in-house, and when the going gets tough Yves doesn’t throw in the towel. Instead, he negotiates a deal on 3 hectares of Cabernet Franc from Bordeaux. It has been a complete U-turn for the domaine, and it must be a radical and potentially disorientating change in direction for Sébastien when he was only thinking, a few years ago, of selling up. Kudos to both Yves and Sébastien for what they have undertaken together, and for what they have achieved so far.
