Domaine de Saint-Pierre - Arbois Blanc "Les Dalles" 2022

This Arbois Blanc "Dalles" is an incredibly suave, mineral-inflected offering.

The Jura region is one of France's smallest wine regions comprising just 2,500 hectares. However, despite its size, it has grown a steadfast reputation for the sheer quality of its idiosyncratic wines. Fabrice Dodane, owner of Domaine de Saint Pierre is part of a small group of discerning producers, which includes Jean-François Ganevat, who push the boundaries, making stunning, profound and complex wines. The "Les Dalles'' is made from a unique variety of Chardonnay called Melon de Jura, grown on a vineyard located on limestone and white marl soils located in Arbois. 

Freshly opened the most expressive wine of the current series, ripe fruit, lots of spice and fragrant aromas, papaya and banana, woodruff and mint, curry and cumin, each time smelling a new nuance, intense and complex. On the palate with a lot of pressure, plus a fine tannin, green characterizes the aroma, again woodruff and some sage, then there is also some charm and a certain enamel, clear and close-knit to the end. 100% Chardonnay.

What we say

"Coming Soon."

Technical notes

At Domaine de Saint Pierre, the grapes are treated with the greatest care, farmed organically and using biodynamic practices. The very low yields achieved through rigorous vineyard management are testament to the high quality of the wine. The grapes are sorted and only the healthiest grapes make it to the press. From harvest to bottling, Fabrice does not add anything to the must or wine. Therefore, the wines are made without sulphur. Once the grapes are pressed, the must is pumped into an oak vat. Upon the completion of fermentation, the wine is racked and returned to the oak vat to undergo its second fermentation and maturation for 13 months. The wine is then bottled without clarification or filtration.
