Domaine Jean-Luc Mouillard, Cotes du Jura Chardonnay, 2022, 750ml

Years back Jean-Luc used three parcels to make this wine, but now in productive years it comes from a single parcel named La Chaux. The parcel totals three acres, and much of it is on a steep hillside that must be worked by hand. The initial fermentation takes place in steel with the malo taking place during aging in older barrels, and both fermentations are normally spontaneous (as with all their still wines). The wine is a product of Jura’s alpine foothills—their elevation and their limestone—making for a delicious combination of elegance and minerality. Production averages around 600 cases
