Jérôme Arnoux - Cellier des Tiercelines - Arbois - Chantemerle 2019

IN CONVERSION TO ORGANIC FARMING

Keywords : Gourmet / Woody / Round

The wine : Aged in oak barrels, this beautiful Chardonnay from the old vines plot Chantemerle expresses a generous and full-bodied character. Notes of butter and vanilla blend with balance and gourmet appeal to aromas of peach, citrus, dried fruits (hazelnut), as well as a touch of sweet spices. A Burgundian character would almost emerge from this beautiful and consensual bottle ! A cuvée that will stand on its own but will express its best while eating grilled fish, white meat, or a selection of cheeses.

The estate : Jérôme Arnoux is a well-known figure in the Jura region. The native of Montigny-lès-Arsures indeed has over 25 years of winemaking experience. After having been the right-hand man of Stéphane Tissot, he managed the Château de Chavannes and then took care of the wines at the Caveau de la Reine Jeanne. A fine resume that only lacked one line: the one with his name. This has been achieved since 2015, the year he began to cultivate his 17 hectares of vineyards on his own. The conversion to organic farming is underway and only aligns with the principles already ingrained in the work done at the estate: indigenous yeasts, minimal intervention, etc. The wines produced wonderfully express the richness of the Jura terroirs and the exceptional winemaking talent of Jérôme.
