Jean Bourdy Côtes du Jura Blanc 2012
Jura, FranceBeauty Jura. The Bourdy family has been growing vines / making wine since 1475 in Jura, just east and south of the gloried Cote D'Or. This is biodynamically farmed alpine chardonnay, native fermented and without inputs during the four years spent in barrel, under flor. Pointed almond, sea salts, lemon, elderflower, is lined with a tight, steely mineral backbone that runs the sleek frame. Acidity is nervy and attention is pointed, drawing your attention sip after sip after sip after... Best when able to open and relax at cellar/room temperature, this is one of those memorable wines that sets your compass.Tasted: 08 May 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $35.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
