2019 Vignerons Les Matheny Arbois Blanc Chardonnay

This 2019 wine is a Jura Chardonnay produced from vineyards featuring old vines—including parcels with vines up to 45 years old—in both Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures. Sourced from a small domaine headed by Les Matheny as well as an experimental plot of hardy Chardonnay, the winemaking approach prominently employs oxidative techniques and extended lees aging to accentuate the regional terroir and autolytic character.
