Côtes du Jura Chardonnay sous voile Jean Macle

The wine

The domain's "little gem", a mere 3000 bottles being produced, this Chardonnay aged sous voile is reminiscent, to a certain extent, of vin jaune. In fact, thanks to its typically Jura élevage (three months sous voile as compared to six years and three months for vin jaune), the wine is blessed with aromas such as walnut and spices (curry, nutmeg, saffron). Delicious if enjoyed straight away, it is even better when aged for several years and paired with flavoursome dishes such as a mature cheese or a sauce-based fish or poultry dish.
