Domaine Pecheur "4 Ans Sous Voile" Chardonnay 2018 Cotes de Jura France

The Pecheur domaine began with just 2.5 acres of vineyard in 1976.Since then they have grown to be an exquisite source of traditional Jura wines working with vines that average nearly 35 years of age. This old vine material provide wines of great purity, richness and transparency. The Pecheur's adhere to organic winemaking principles. For instance they do not utilize pesticides or herbicides. The chardonnay vineyards are from 35yr old vines planted on limestone and rocky dolomite soils. The winemaking style for this cuvee is non-ouille meaning the wine is not topped up in barrel. This style produces a slightly oxidative wine offering hints of an intriguing nuttiness. The overall impression is minerality and healthy acidity, green apple and pear, wonderful richness and complexity.
