Region: Jura
Variety: Chardonnay
What's in the glass: Jura is the new Burgundy, or should I say the old one. The atmosphere, the soils, nature and the feeling Pierre Girardin got there was magic. Rotalier is a well-known village of South Revermont, surrounded by hills planted in vines, luxurious flora and small, charming wine villages, similar soil as Côte de Beaune with limestone. The start of a new adventure.
Pierrre followed the same approach as in Burgundy, a single plot, a single lieu-dit, a unique wine! The Jura project was no longer a one shot but definitely the beginning of a new story for the Domaine.
A mineral and powerful wine, crystalline and chiselled on the mouth. Intense lime hints on the nose. Expression of a great terroir. A precise, harmonious wine with a chiselled palette that is mineral, crystalline and powerful, yet elegant and even indulgent. The nose opens with vibrant aromas of lime, while the palate is dynamic and salty, offering a long, structured finish. Very enjoyable now, it also has real ageing potential (8-10 years) for lovers of Burgundy from the Jura.
