Côtes du Jura, Jura, FranceTasted again 9 months along, and this vintage is holding strong as ever. I'm so glad I stashed a couple of bottles away in my cellar. From En Chagnon in Montigny-les-Arsures, and vines rooted into gravels and Lias' grey marls, this is tucked up against a limestone cliff protection. Post-ferment, this rested 16 months in oak, including 30% new, which adds to the structure in this confident, now relaxing, medium bodied chardonnay. Mineral-driven, with smoked stones, lemon pith, green apple bedded by a cloud of herbal lees, and driven by lemon peel acidity to a lingering saline finish. Drinking beautifully now.Tasted: 26 April 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Côtes du Jura, Jura, FranceA wine of place. From En Chagnon in Montigny-les-Arsures, and vines rooted into gravels and Lias' grey marls, this is tucked up against the limestone cliff. Post-ferment, this rested 16 months in oak, including 30% new, which adds to the structure in this confident wine. Mineral-driven, with smoked stones, lemon pith, green apple, overtop fine, earthy lees, driven by ample salts, to a tight, grippy finish. Energy abound, and showing beautifully now for 2015 (with time ahead in cellar).Tasted: 29 June 2020Tasted by: Prices:
