Wine Description:
Domaine de Montbourgeau En Banode L'Etoile is a distinguished offering from the esteemed producer, showcasing the unique terroir of the L'Etoile appellation. The vineyard, En Banode, planted by Jean Gros in 1970, boasts a special blend of Chardonnay and Savagnin grapes, with the latter reaching maturity alongside Chardonnay after 45 years, resulting in a limited but exceptional harvest. The winemaking process involves fermenting both grape varieties together in stainless steel tanks before aging the wine in 25hl oak vats for a year. Subsequently, the wine is transferred to 500-liter barrels without topping up, allowing it to develop its characteristic mineral and saline notes. This meticulous vinification technique produces a wine of exquisite harmony, accentuating its unique terroir and distinctively refined style.

Domaine de Montbourgeau En Banode L'Etoile is a remarkable wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the L'Etoile appellation in the Jura region of France. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe orchard fruits such as apple and pear, accompanied by delicate floral notes and a hint of honey. These aromas are further enhanced by a subtle mineral undertone, which is characteristic of wines from this region. On the palate, En Banode L'Etoile reveals a harmonious balance between its fruitiness and acidity. The flavors of crisp apple and juicy pear are complemented by a touch of citrus, providing a refreshing and vibrant sensation. En Banode L'Etoile is a wine that truly reflects the terroir of L'Etoile. It showcases the unique combination of the region's limestone soils, cool climate, and the region's typical grape varieties, such as Chardonnay and Savagnin. This combination results in a wine that is both expressive and complex, with a long and satisfying finish.
