Domaine Des Jougla
2020 Eime de Vinha
This favorite organic white is a blend of Vermentino, Grenache Blanc, and Viognier. The expressive nose delights with scents of pear and white flowers. The palate is refreshing and complex with notes of citrus and peach. A compelling marriage of freshness with distinctive flavors and an ample, generous structure, Eime de Vinha means “Love of the Vines” in the Occitan language, and we do.
Pairs beautifully with Thai fish soup, Baked Fennel Seed Fish and White Pizza with ricotta and caramelized onions.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Saint-Chinian has a very typical terroir dominated by two main soil types: schiste (slate) in one area and clay/limestone in the other. Domaine des Jougla’s vineyards are planted in both types of soil, so this cultivates diversity. The vines are situated within the garrigue, a mix of pine trees, oak, and herbs such as rosemary, fennel, and thyme. Much of the wine’s aroma stems from this complex vegetation.
Production Notes
The grapes are aged in French Oak for six months.
Winemaker Notes
Laurence Jougla, a leading lady of Languedoc winemaking, oversees the vinification for Domaine Des Jougla. She inherited her winemaking expertise from generations of family winemakers. The winery was built in 1900 and features century-old wooden casks, ancient carved stone fixtures, and a display of historical tools once used to tend the vines.
Food Pairing Notes
Pairs beautifully with Thai fish soup, Baked Fennel Seed Fish and White Pizza with ricotta and caramelized onions.
