The Jean Marc Villemaine “Cuvee du Raison Oublie” is literally translated from French as “the forgotten grape.” The phrase referring to a traditional method of creating sweet dessert wines by leaving the grapes on the vines long enough to contract botrytis, better known as the noble rot. Harvested in late October and early November, these Chenin Blanc grapes are picked well after the normal harvest, when the sugars are highly elevated. Only 600 bottles of this satiny dessert wine was created, and is the perfect way to end a wonderful meal.
Jean-Marc Villemaine operates his family winery with his wife and two teenage sons who hand pick all the grapes. Their estate consists of 18 hectares of flint and clay soils. Practicing the "Terra Vitis" approach to agriculture, a holistic style in which great care and concern is given to maintaining a natural balance between flora and fauna, Jean Marc produces wines of intensity and purity.
