Elegant and crystalline, the 2022 White Côtes du Jura Chardonnay is a textbook example of Jura Chardonnay at its finest. A delicate touch of Burgundian-style aging enhances its natural freshness and saline character, creating a wine of remarkable charm, layered with floral aromas and subtle vanilla notes. With a refined profile and perfectly judged ripeness, this wine is light, pure, and beautifully balanced. A brief decanting upon opening will allow it to fully express its finesse. A perfect match for freshwater fish or a warm Saint-Félicien cheese toast. |
