The 7ha Domaine de la Roche Bleue is run by Sébastien Corneille, who is originally from near Sancerre. Corneille bought the vines in 2007 in Marçon: 2.65ha in Jasnières and the rest in Coteaux du Loir. The Clos des Molières is one of the best sites in the small appellation of Jasnières, and these 15-year-old vines are planted on flinty clay. The grapes are picked by hand with a yield of 30 hl/ha. 

The wine is fermented and matured in a mix of acacia and oak barrels for eight months. The 2017 has very attractive honeyed and citric aromas, with mouthfilling, quite rich fruits leading to a lovely precision of fairly austere acidity on the long finish.
