2023 Michel Gahier, Arbois Blanc Chardonnay "Les Crets", Jura, France Joaquin Soil: Kimmeridgian clayThe grapes for this cuve are sourced from a hilltop vineyard (Les Crets meaning crest of the hill) where the Chardonnay has been grafted onto the rootstock of the local grape variety known as Melon Queue Rouge. The wine is aged for about fifteen months in large foudre and is then racked into the smaller format (600 liter) demi muid for another year of elevage.
