Cotes du Jura Chardonnay 'Bas de la Chaux' 2022, Domaine Jean-Luc Mouillard Gift Card white peach and some complexThe Chardonnay grapes come from a single three acre vineyard called La Chaux, on a steep hillside slope, which is exclusively hand harvested. Farmed organically since 2020. Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel, and malolactic fermentation in old barrel, where it ages for 18 months with only a touch of sulphur at bottling. This has the typical Jura racy citrus and mineral notes, but with a lovely creamy, rounded texture to counter that.
