2020 Domaine Tournelle Arbois Blanc Corvées Sous Curon
Corvées Sous Curon is a special, coveted vineyard in Arbois, Jura, cultivated by just a few estates. The Chardonnay is produced on unique soils rich in heavy gravel, early Jurassic limestone, and clay that yield layered wines with exceptional aging potential. The domaine was created by Evelyne and Pascal Clairet in 1991, carrying forward traditional Arbois methods while exploring new paths. Yields are maintained at 40 hl/ha through careful viticulture. This wine keeps extremely well and can be enjoyed for up to 10 years. Serve at 10-12°C after decanting.
