Jan Blanc from Clos Pons is a high-altitude white wine distinguished by its freshness and balance. Made in Les Garrigues, it has characteristic white-fruit notes and a smooth yet characterful palate, ideal with Mediterranean cooking, from elaborate salads to white fish.
Soil: Clos Pons has vineyards in L’Albagés on very stony clay-limestone soils, bringing subtle minerality and freshness to the wine.
Altitude: Between 500 and 700 metres.
Viticulture: Sustainable high-altitude farming. The vineyards experience a harsh continental climate that favours slow ripening and aromatic concentration.
Winemaking: Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Several months of lees ageing develop creaminess without losing the fruit’s liveliness.
Tasting notes: Jan Blanc is pale yellow with bright highlights. The nose is expressive, with notes of stone fruit (peach), green apple and citrus. On the palate it is fresh, balanced and flowing, with well-integrated acidity giving it a pleasant persistence.
Pairings: Perfect with grilled white fish, seafood, mountain-style rice dishes, pasta with mild sauces and creamy cheeses.
