Domaine de Montbourgeau L'Etoile Blanc 2018

Organic

This is an older, evolved white wine that is uniquely Jura. It displays oxidative notes of almond, cedar, bruised apple, and its color is much darker than what you may be familiar with. The youthful fresh fruit character has faded and evolved into so much more.

This cuvée is the classic white wine of Montbourgeau. It is usually bottled after 24 to 30 months of élevage in barrel. Chardonnay is the dominant grape but an occasional Savagnin vine is found within the Chardonnay plantings, an addition which adds a touch of complexity to the ultimate blend. The fermentation occurs in stainless steel but, after malolactic, the wine is racked into small barrel and demi-muids for two years. At that point, the entire production is assembled and left for several months in cuve before being bottled.

NOTE: We will not be accepting any return bottles of this wine.
