Sandwiched between Switzerland and Burgundy, Jura Chardonnays show a touch of mountain wine minerality and a good dose of Burgundy flavors and textures. Here 90% Chardonnay and 10% Savagnin done in tank showcases the Burgundy connection.
Hard to beat Tamlyn Currin’s 17/20 point note in JancisRobinson.com: “Mouillard's intention is a fresh, vibrant wine and that's exactly what you've got in the glass. But don't mistake that for simple. Chilled, it's all crunchy sweet orchard fruit, apples and pears and mirabelles. As it warms, little fingertips of caramel, smoke, sweet pastry and cumin seed appear. The freshness comes from a tinge of bay-leaf bitterness and a long spine of acidity, so ripe it's almost succulent. Succulent, but don't mistake that for plump. The wine is shaped by its bones and not by its flesh. Although it has enough of the latter to distract you from the former. It's not your usual Chardonnay.”
For You If: Certainly if you like non-oxidized Jura whites but also if you just adore minerally Chardonnay from Pouilly Fuisse or even Chablis; you’re looking for a white that’s worth paying attention to but doesn’t entirely take over the conversation.
Not For You If: You’re after the more yellow/nutty style of oxidized Jura whites – this is clean, crisp, fresh, not oxidized.
