a huge hit at our Jura class! We had to bring in a case.
50 year old vines
a gem, over a decade old but still so fresh and vibrant, tons of depth and complexity, full bodied, hazelnut, walnut, honeysuckle, dried apricot, ginger, rose petals, perfect balance of acidity and roundness.
amazing now but can be cellared for another decade if you choose
region: Jura, France
varietal: 70% Chardonnay 30% Savagnin
style: white
farming/cellar: practicing organic, 2 grapes are co-fermented, aged for 3 years in old neutral oak (they use a combination of barrels that are topped off and those that are not, so this has just a touch of the oxidized element famous in Jura whites)
pairing: hard cheese,
