Description
The Jura of France is one of our favorite wine regions. Laying just west of Burgundy the wines share with their more famous neighbor finesse, elegance and nuance. So, it's no surprise this wine from Jerome Arnoux is called 'Nuance" Comprised of 80% Chardonnay withthe balance the important local grape Savagnin, made in the style of winemaking called " sous voile" the wine shows great breed and complexity. Sous Voile is a method of winemaking in which a layer or "veil" of yeast forms over the surface of the white wine,. Because the wine is not " topped up" in barrel oxygen has space in which to enter. The result is a nutty and umani savoriness that is wildly attractive. Great spice, dried fruit and mineral flavors round out this most exciting flavor profile.
