Arbois Chardonnay, Fumey Chatelain, Jura, France 2022
This is the sort of 'topped-up' Jura white that we love; a little bit like white Burgundy, a little bit unlike white Burgundy, leading with yellow citrus, plus a dash of white peach, a curl of white butter, a lick of salt and a spark of flint, which leaves its fingerprint on the wine and gives it a real sense of place. 13% alc. Drink now-2029.
The vineyards are going to be certified organic from the 2023 vintage.
Press review:
The Wine Advocate: "A little reductive at first, serious and mineral, from different soils. It aged for 18 months in barrels and foudre, with less than 20% in stainless steel. It's fresh and balanced, with a moderate 13% alcohol and a tasty, clean and serious finish. Drink now-2029." 92 points
