2020 Domaine de la Touraize Arbois Chardonnay
Domaine de la Touraize's Ammonites is named after the extinct cephalopodic mollusk whose fossilized shells are found throughout the Jura's distinctive soils. This Chardonnay comes from 0.8 hectares in the gravelly marl vineyards of Curoulet and La Platière, planted between the early 1960s and early 1980s. The marl-heavy soils produce a richer, broader wine than limestone-based expressions. The estate has been certified biodynamic since 2020.
