Domaine de l'Octavin, Hip Hip J… Chardonnay 2023
Place: Jura, France
Grape: Chardonnay
Vibe: Yum
Fruit from around Arbois, mainly direct press but with some fruit that is destemmed and macerated for a month. 18 month élevage helps everything harmonise. This is ripe fruited, almost quince like with some smoke and salt thrown in for good measure. It should come as no secret, that I really rate Jura in 2023. I remember this being a highlight from one of the dimly lit caves of the Loire, and I'm so glad I now have direct access without having to cross the channel. Tasting even better than my hazy memories too.
