WINE DESCRIPTION
The Jura itself entices enthusiasts with a fascinating, long wine tradition and a unique terroir. The Domaine Bourdy, in family ownership for generations, embodies this tradition like few others, and the return to biodynamic agriculture fits perfectly. The Domaine Bourdy Côte de Jura Blanc is a pure Chardonnay, shaped by the clay and limestone on which it grows. It undergoes spontaneous fermentation and matures for a long time in large wooden barrels. Initially more fine than expressive, yet densely woven and marked by mineral, slightly salty tones, it becomes distinctly nutty with aging. As the wine breathes, fruit aromas intensify: apple, apricot, and lemon zest. Overall, very fresh and as cool as the wind in the Jura. Take your time with this wine - it deserves it and will reward you. Best opened and lightly chilled 3 hours before enjoying.

ORIGINS
Winery: Jean Bourdy
Region: Jura
Jura is a small wine region in eastern France, with a unique terroir and a long history of winemaking. Jura is bordered by Switzerland and the Rhône-Alpes region. It is known for its distinctive white wines, made from the local Savagnin grape, as well as its reds and rosés.
Jura has been producing wine since the Roman era, and its winemaking tradition has been passed down through the generations. In the Middle Ages, the region was known for its sweet wines, which were popular throughout Europe. In the 19th century, the region began to focus on dry wines, and the local Savagnin grape became the main variety used.CUSTOMER RATING
