Tasting Notes
This lovely white wine is made from Chardonnay that was matured in a large 600 litre old barrel. The barrel allows some oxygen to seep through the wood into the wine thus protecting it for the future via mild oxidation.
The vines grow on thick clay soil that is up to 40 centimetres thick and which has a bedrock underlay of limestone.We can testify to the fact that the clay is very heavy as we walked through this vineyard after a rain storm and it took ages for us to clean the clay off our shoes!
The Chardonnay vines from which this wine is made are approximately 35 years old. - Importer Note
Arnaud Greiner is a talented and passionate young man who has been working for other Jura producers for many years. He has also been making his own wine and has just made his second commercial release (we received a small supply of his first release in 2018). We are delighted that he has agreed to supply us with some of his miniscule production.
Arnaud and his partner Malou have a number of very small parcels of vines near the village of Liesle which add up to the grand total of a little less than one hectare.
Each of the plots sit in a forest setting far from an agricultural sprays from the farms around the area. Some have great views over the valley.
Arnaud and Malou are certified organic by Ecocert. They do not use any sulphites in the production of their lovely wines.
