The Arbois Chardonnay shows the sun of the vintage, with aromas of ripe apple coming first, followed by the classic minerality of the Bajocian limestone over the grey marls. The wine is fresh and poised, with broad shoulders. It has a defined Burgundian style, almost akin to Meursault. Yet it is Jura through-and-through, with its typical crushed shell notes to the fore.

The wine exudes exotic and tropical fruits and continues with citrus. The nose has enticing aromas of white flowers and fragrant trees. A touch of spice and dried nuts on the finish add some volume to the softness and delicacy. The salinity of the terroir is very subtle. Really good wine in 2020. The Savagnin is Jura’s signature grape, and also the Domaine’s calling card. Many styles of Savagnin exist. This cuvee, Ouillé (also called Naturé) seeks to protect aromatic freshness by contrast with the oxidative style of Vin Jaune or Savagnin aged under flor (sous-voile). The energy and vivacity are so refreshing and enticing. This wine should be in your cellar.

These vineyards are in Montigny-lès-Arsures and Arbois, dominated by marl soils from three different geographical periods, the Trias, Bajocian and Lias. This is ripe on the nose with stone fruit and exotic fruit. It has the unmistakable nut and dry fruit character. On the palate there is an intense bouquet of sweet spice and ripe apple. We tasted from barrel, while the malolactic fermentation was finishing. The wine was still cloudy, with a high level of sugar still remaining. It was an explosion of white flower aromas. Very promising! The berries are lightly crushed before being pressed and then fermented in barrels and botti. One third of the grapes are left on their skins for one night. The wine is aged half in 500L oak casks and half in stainless steel tanks.
