drink-now2020 L'Etoile, Chardonnay, Montmorain, Domaine de Montbourgeau, Jura

This wine comes from a west-facing vineyard with chalky soil. Just three barrels - under 900 bottles - were made this year. The nose has some stone fruit and a hint of reduction. The exposure to the late-afternoon sun gives a generosity and warmth to the mid-palate, before the limestone soil makes its presence felt in a saline, chalk-inflected finish.
