Pierre Girardin - VDF Chardonnay "La Petite Montagne"

This Petite Montagne Chardonnay is from Jura in Beaufort (south of Rotalier) on soils of fossilised limestone and blue marl. 

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.

A crystalline, lively and salty wine, marked by a beautiful mineral tension. The nose, characterised by a discreet reduction, evokes the authentic terroir of the Jura. On the palate, the lemony freshness is combined with a delicate velvety roundness, supported by an elegant structure. This cuvée is aimed at enthusiasts looking for a mineral white wine with beautiful tension and expressive fruit, revealing the full potential of the Jura's high-altitude terroirs. Drink now or cellar for up to 10 years.
