2015 Côtes du Jura Sous Voile, Jean Macle, Jura
This is a 100% Chardonnay wine, aged sous voile (under flor), has classic oxidative notes. The fruit comes from limestone-clay soils on north-facing slopes surrounding Château-Chalon. Whilst the ageing is much shorter than for a vin jaune, this wine shares much of its characteristics, with saline depth, and spicy complexity. Its lighter frame makes it ideal for earlier drinking than a vin jaune, and is a brilliant foil for food.
