Item # 45970 750mL

An extremely traditional Jura white wine, this comes from 60 year-old Chardonnay vines. These are harvested later than all of the estate's other whites, and botrytis is often present in very small amounts. Elevage occurs in small used oak barrels, where it rests for 3 years. This is a rich and savory dry white with citrus, dairy and nut aromas. Pair with chicken and crayfish in cream sauce.

It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...

Jura

A petite and relatively obscure wine region in eastern France, between Burgundy and the Swiss border. Its geographical isolation has helped it to remain a rare bastion of traditional winemaking techniques, and today it produces some of the most distinctive wines in the world. Reds from the Jura are often light-bodied, earthy, berried, and reminiscent of the village wines of Burgundy (though here they are made of local grapes like Poulsard and Trousseau).
