🏰 The 2022 Montbourgeau L'Etoile Chardonnay is a 【masterclass in traditional Jura winemaking】, considered one of the best releases yet, capturing the essence of the Jura mountains and valleys with a proudly definitive style. This white wine, often co-fermented with Savagnin, is full-bodied with high acidity and a complex profile. It offers wildly complex notes of cumin, hazelnut, yellow apple, salt, white peach, and zesty acidity, alongside fresh, linear characteristics with a salty, sea-spray lift and chalky grip. Aromatics include hazelnuts, green apple, and white fruits with fresh oxidative characters, leading to a generously textured, balanced, and fresh palate packed with minerality and a saline finish. 🍴 This unique Chardonnay is an absolute dynamite with a hunk of aged Comté or other authentic alpine cheeses. It also pairs beautifully with whole-roasted chicken served with wild mushrooms, chicken breast in cream or cashew nut sauces, or any dish with creamy elements and savory notes. Surprisingly, it's a great match for fried chicken and fried cheese. 🥂 An excellent choice for adventurous wine lovers, a gourmet meal, or a gathering where unique and complex white wines are appreciated. Serve chilled at 8-10°C. This wine has a cellar potential of 10-20 years.
