Description
Chardonnay from the brilliant Valentin Morel in Poligny.
This comes from well-established, mature vines planted in classic Jura clay-limestone soils, with an abundance of fossilised shells also found in this particular vineyard. The fruit was direct-pressed and saw elevage in old barrels, topped-up, resulting in a wine which is not oxidative but nicely resolved and crystalline – classical, deep, chiselled and powerful.
Valentin took over from his father in 2014 after studying and practising law for a few years and then completing a degree in oenology in Alsace, where he developed his passion for organics and gained experience working with vignerons Pierre Frick and Bruno Scheuller.
