Hand-harvested organically farmed Jacquere and Altesse grapes from southwest-facing vineyard ‘Les Chateaux’ in Chignin. Old vines (50 years), densely planted on silty limestone soils worked with horse-plow. Carefully sorted whole clusters, delicately pressed and fermented in the tank without additions. Natural malolactic fermentation, 4 months aging in the tank.
Fruit, flowers and aromatic herbs follow one another revealing freshness and flavour on the palate. A Chardonnay that is able to challenge many white Burgundies for its finesse and nobility.
Direct pressing, spontaneous fermentation and ageing in vats for 80% and in wood for the remainder.
Edouard's Chardonnay has rich aromas of hazelnut, pear, and yellow apple with good weight and acidity. A great example of the grape from limestone soils and without new oak flavouring.
A 50/50 blend of Jura's main white grapes, this one is a complex white that hints at the sherry-like flavor Jura's famous vin jaune is known for. Minerality and fruit, with plenty of texture and acidity. Excellent cheese wine.
