2019 Vignerons Les Matheny Arbois Blanc Chardonnay
A pure, classic Jura Chardonnay from the Les Matheny vineyard, a tiny domaine in Arbois. This 2019 originates from an experimental parcel of 45-year-old vines in Montigny-lès-Arsures. The wine showcases the oxidative style characteristic of the region, with extended lees aging imparting subtle autolytic qualities reminiscent of fine Champagne. It pours a deep yellow-gold color with green flashes and is underpinned by immense acidity and lift, representing the highest-quality expression of Jura Chardonnay winemaking from hardy old vines.
