Les Matheny Arbois Chardonnay 2016
Type: White
Producer: Les Matheny
Country: France
Region: Jura
Grape: Chardonnay
Year: 2016
Farming: Sustainable
This 2016 from Les Matheny is pure, classic, highest-quality Jura Chardonnay. It couldn't be anything else. It pours a deep, deep yellow-gold in the glass with flashes of green and takes its time releasing an intoxicating array of aromas. A skilled touch of (encouraged) oxidation throughout the wines three-year élevage in barrel delivers brooding notes of bruised pear, quince, overripe pineapple, yellow and green apples, marzipan, preserved Meyer lemon, crushed almonds, fino sherry, honeycomb, crushed river stone, exotic baking spice, and damp acacia. On the palate, a textural masterpiece unfolds.
