"Jura is the new Burgundy, or should I say the old one. The atmosphere, the soils, nature and the feeling Pierre Girardin got there was magic. Rotalier is a well-known village of South Revermont, surrounded by hills planted in vines, luxurious flora and small, charming wine villages, similar soil as Côte de Beaune with limestone. The start of a new adventure.
Pierrre followed the same approach as in Burgundy, a single plot, a single lieu-dit, a unique wine! The Jura project was no longer a one shot but definitely the beginning of a new story for the Domaine." - Clos Cachet, Importer
"From the Les Saugettes lieu-dit in Grusse, this Chardonnay comes off west-facing, calcareous marl planted around 1970. The site’s shallow soils and afternoon light give a taut, mineral frame: citrus and cool orchard fruit over a chalk-saline line, with subtle savory detail and a long, finely textured finish. It’s a precise, place-first Jura Chardonnay that reads both crystalline and quietly profound." - Leon & Sons Wine
Girardin declines critic tasting, believing quality will speak for itself.
