Les Granges Paquenesses, Cotes du Jura Chardonnay 2018

La Mamette

100% Chardonnay (12.5% alc.)

This comes from 40-50yo vines planted just south of Arbois in a soil which is essentially marl but also contains some limestone. Aged in topped up 3-5yo barrels for 15 months, this is an elegant, racy wine, with a hint of menthol on the nose, and on the palate offers citrus fruits with a marked refreshing mineral cut.
