A beautiful, small, organic domaine, La Jasse Castel is situated in the hillsides near Montpellier, in the award-winning winegrowing region of Montpeyroux. The 12-hectares of vineyards is made up of a century-old Cinsault plot near the village of Arboras, an ancient Carignan tucked away amongst the Olivettes, a purebred Syrah on the edge of an oak forest, and a goblet-trained Grenache in the heart of the Seranne landscape. Because of its unique terroir, this area was granted its own Cru. Varying soils and different orientations to the sun produce different characteristics in the fruit. The soil is clay and the subsoil is quite calcareous. The soils are very old and influenced by the thyme, rosemary, and lavender of the garrigue. LES COMBARIOLLES, is the name of a hamlet located between the villages of Montpeyroux and Jonquieres. It is the first vineyard that Pascale planted in 2001 following the creation of her domaine. The soils are dry and gravelly, the ideal terroir for quality Grenache.
