ARBOIS CHARDONNAY

“Domaine de la Pinte is one of the historic and most important farms in the Jura region, having been organic since 1999 and certified biodynamic (Demeter) since 2009. This Arbois Chardonnay is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown on the limestone and marl soils typical of the Jura region. The wine is fermented with natural yeasts and aged for 12 months in large oak barrels (foudres) to gain complexity but maintain freshness.

Taste? The wine is dry, elegant and incredibly structured. It is dominated by notes of yellow fruits (apple, pear) and citrus, complemented by subtle notes of nuts (hazelnut) and light toasted spices. The aftertaste is long, with a fantastic minerality and saltiness typical of the Jura region.

How to serve? Serve chilled (around 10-12°C) in a wine glass. This is a classic gastronomic wine. It is ideal with seafood (especially scallops), grilled fish, poultry dishes or, of course, Comté cheese from the Jura region.”
