Chardonnay de la Reculée Côtes du Jura Blanc

After a downpour - and these can happen quite often in the Jura - a quick drying of the soil and the plants is a huge advantage, especially if you work biodynamically like the Pigniers. "Reculées", i.e. terrain incisions, small valleys, favor a rapid exchange of air and not only allow the vines planted there and everything that grows and thrives on them to dry out quickly, no, plants on the ground are also soon dry again. This is why the Pigniers planted their Chardonnays, which did not always ripen easily, in this corner of France in such small terrain incisions, hence the name of the wine. The used Burgundy pièces (Burgundy pièces are larger, 3 liters larger than barriques and hold 228 liters of wine) are also used here, in which the wine converts the sugar into alcohol without the addition of yeasts, i.e. with its natural yeasts. The wine smells great, like white flowers and so wonderfully yellow-fruity, like boiled lemons. Irresistible. Crystal clear, with lots of energy and plenty of power, but also with a very fine structure, the wine finishes on the point, wonderfully juicy, delicately salty, wonderfully animating! Wow, that's a Chardonnay from the Jura!
