2023 Domaine de Montbourgeau “L’Etoile”, Jura, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
Produced in the L’Étoile appellation of the Jura, this wine is typically crafted from Chardonnay, often with a small proportion of Savagnin, grown on marl and limestone soils rich in fossilized star-shaped stones (“étoiles”). Vinified in a traditional non-oxidative style, it emphasizes purity, freshness, and terroir expression rather than the oxidative character found in some Jura wines. The result is a clean, precise wine with subtle complexity and strong food-pairing versatility.
