MAISON MAENAD
De l’Avant 2022
Jura, France
Chardonnay from forty year old vines planted over red clay and limestone in ‘Les Varrons’. The grapes were pressed directly in an old vertical press and moved by gravity into a combination of foudre and demi-muids for two years of élevage. From a warm, dry vintage, it is a dense, powerful and layered wine that pairs ripe stone fruits, minerals and spice to wonderful effect. Delicious now, it will reward drinkers for years to come.

DOMAINE DE L’OCTAVIN
Potion Magique 2023
Jura, France
The return of an old favourite, this mind-bending field blend is made up of roughly equal parts of Poulsard, Chardonnay and Savagnin from La Mailloche. The grapes were destemmed and fermented on the skins for six weeks, before being pressed to cuve until the following spring. Deep purple, this offers a kaleidoscopic expression of the region and its charismatic varieties, with wild aromas of spiced quince and blood orange bitters taking centre stage. Thrillingly unique.

ARNAUD GREINER
La Cart’ouche 2023
Jura, France
A blend of around eighty percent Pinot Noir with a little Ploussard and Trousseau from four parcels around the village of Liesle. The grapes were destemmed by hand and fermented in cuve on the skins for around a month, before being pressed off to old barrels for a year. A cooler year has rendered a lithe, fragrant wine that pairs bright red fruits with a touch of earth and spice.
