Domaine Benoit Badoz Chardonnay Les Roussots Côtes du Jura 2023 12.6% 750ml
TASTING NOTES
AROMA
A very fine bouquet of white flowers (acacia) and small dried fruits.
PALATE
The palate is crisp and fresh with hints of citrus and white florals through to a very long minerally finish.
WINEMAKERS COMMENTS
Benoit cultivates according to the specifications of organic farming, with the aim of maintaining a natural ecological balance and biodiversity. Grasses are planted in every other row and no chemical products are used, instead ploughing of the soils. The variety of native yeasts on the grapes permits wild fermentation and the use of minimal levels of SO2.
FOOD MATCHING
It is a perfect accompaniment to fish (trout, shellfish), salads, terrines and Franche-Comté fondue.
VINIFICATION
The hand-harvested Chardonnay from the “Les Roussots” plots undergoes a gentle pneumatic crush and settles at 8 Celsius for 24 hours to allow the gross lees to settle. Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel vats (up to 20 Celsius) is followed by the malo-lactic fermentation and aging in oak barrels until the following September.
GRAPE VARIETY
100% Chardonnay
