Crémant du Jura Blanc
SKU GHCJ
This Champagne-method wine is made from 100% Chardonnay, specifically the local mutation that has a red stem, Melon à Queue Rouge. The yields are quite low at 45 hl/ha. This wine sees no dosage and spends 24 months on the lees before disgorgement. Produced completely naturally, no sulphur is added at any time in its production. Hailing from a 1.2-hectare plot of gravel and limestone soil in the village of Cramans, eight kilometers from Michel’s home in Montigny-lés-Arsures, it displays almond cream, brassy limestone twang, and salty citrus, offering a breadth of texture reined in by firm acidity.
