Rijckaert – F. Rouve, ‘Sur le Marnes’, Cote du Jura 2021/22

Description

This Chardonnay hails from the Jura, a lesser-known, but fantastic, French wine region. The area's limestone-rich soils and cool climate are ideal for producing wines with notable freshness and minerality. Created by Rijckaert, a winemaker devoted to showcasing the Jura’s unique terroir, this is a true reflection of the region’s character. Aromas of citrus, green apple, and subtle floral notes lead to a palate of crisp apple, lemon zest, and a touch of minerality, balanced by refreshing acidity. A hint of oak adds depth, finishing with a clean, slightly nutty note. Perfect with grilled fish, roast chicken, or creamy cheeses like a roulade.
