In the glass
Aroma: yellow apple, citrus zest, toasted hazelnut
Palate: orchard fruit, salt, stone
Chardonnay planted at the top of the Grand Curoulet parcel, where the domaine says the grey marls give the wine a distinctly Jura character. Fifteen to sixteen months in barrel and foudre, topped up rather than veil aged.
What it pairs with
-
Roast white fish
The longer wood ageing gives the frame for a roasted rather than poached plate. -
Poultry in cream sauce
Body from the cask and acidity from the marl both work on a cream sauce. -
Comte
The default Jura cheese for a Chardonnay of this weight.
