Domaine de Montbourgeau L’Assemblage 2022

One of those Jura producers that seems to get overlooked for the Instagrammable ones, and by virtue of that, leaves us, the righteous, opportunity to access the wines! Hurrah!”, “Organic producer that sits under the radar in Jura, but is firmly on mine now. It took me a while to get to these wines, but when I did they suddenly became very important in my Jura matrix. MIKE BENNIE, the wine front

This cuvée is the classic white wine of Montbourgeau. Chardonnay is the dominant grape here blended with Savagnin, an addition which adds a touch of complexity to the ultimate blend. The fermentation occurs in stainless steel but, after malolactic, the wine is racked into small barrel and demi-muids for two years on lees. At that point, the entire production is assembled and left for several months in cuve before being bottled. This cuvee is topped up non oxidative Jura style. Beautiful Chardonnay as good as a some of the most delicious white Burgundy yet with a strong sense of place and Jura personality. MOSAIQUE WINES, importer
