Chardonnay 'La Chaux', Francois Rousset-Martin, Côtes du Jura, France 2020
The Wine Advocate: “He bottled the 2020 Côtes du Jura Chardonnay La Chaux after three years in 400-litre barrels, and it certainly gives the wines complexity and depth. This feels very clean, balanced and elegant, with 13.5% alcohol, good ripeness with a certain lightless and an ethereal quality to it. It's named after one of the plots in Château Chalon that has limestone soils with some stones and marl. He's topping up from the beginning, as he wants more precision and no flor character in the ouillé wines.” 93 points
