2023 Jérôme Arnoux Chardonnay 'Initial' Arbois We seek at the timeThis is a topped up Jura with 80% stainless steel & 20% old wood elevage. From a soil profile which is 50% Triassic clay, 50% Bajocian limestone. Faintest whiff fino on the nose. The palate is tight & compact with salinity, lemon, lime & some background walnut notes & dried fig. This is proper Jura Chardonnay but also has some neighbouring Burgundian traits too.
