Cotes de Jura Heritage Chardonnay

Cotes de Jura Heritage Chardonnay bottle

The Jura wine region is small in size but large in its remarkable diversity. It covers 80
kilometres between Burgundy and Switzerland, in the eastern France. Created in 1937, the
AOC (designation of origin) of Cotes du Jura is omnipresent in the north and south of the
vineyard, on varied and contrasting terroirs. It is the second leading AOC in Jura in terms
of production, and it engages all five of the Jura's grape varieties.

The whole range of wines of the Jura is represented, although the whites dominate - still or sparkling - with wines that are round, fruity, and generous.

  • Winemaking

    Reception of the grapes, vatting by gravity into a thermo-regulated tank for the fermentation. They are pressed, and musts are settling under control temperature. Then engages the fermentation maintained at low temperature (20- 22°C). A part of the Chardonnay was aged in stainless steel tanks, for 2 -3 months to aid the preservation of the wine's minerality and fruit. The second part was aged on fine lees, in wooden barrels, for 2 -3 months to bring more roundness, structure and typicity.

  • Nose

    Elegence and finesse of the grape combined with flowers and white fruits aromas.

  • Palate

    Delicate woody notes and a beautiful structure in the mouth.
