Domaine JL Mouillard AOC Cotes du Jura Bas de la Chaux Chardonnay 2023 Bio

Domaine JL Mouillard Bas de la Chaux Chardonnay is a finely crafted single-vineyard Jura white that captures the region’s signature mix of freshness, minerality and quiet complexity. Made from organically farmed Chardonnay on the steep La Chaux site, it brings together precision, texture and a distinctly Jura character that has made the area so compelling for wine lovers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2023 Chardonnay shows a pale golden hue with a bright, inviting clarity. The nose opens with citrus, white flowers, lime blossom and ripe apple, followed by subtler notes of brioche, toasted nuts and a chalky mineral edge. The palate is full yet focused, with lively acidity, a creamy mid-palate and a long, saline finish that keeps everything in balance. The careful use of older oak adds depth and texture without masking the wine’s freshness, giving it the energy to develop beautifully over the next several years.

Production
Bas de la Chaux comes from the steep La Chaux vineyard in Côtes du Jura, where limestone and marl soils lend the wine its tension, mineral drive and elegant structure. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented spontaneously in stainless steel before going through malolactic fermentation and aging for more than 12 months in older 228L and 500L oak barrels. This approach preserves the purity of the fruit while adding subtle complexity and roundness.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile gastronomic white that works especially well with roast chicken, creamy poultry dishes, grilled fish, shellfish, mushroom risotto, and Jura or Alpine cheeses. Serve it lightly chilled at around 10–12°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can help if you want to bring out more of its layered aromatics.

Producer
Domaine Jean-Luc Mouillard was founded in 1991 in the village of Mantry, in the heart of Jura, and has earned a reputation for precise, terroir-driven wines with a strong sense of place. The estate works organically and focuses on classic Jura varieties such as Chardonnay and Savagnin, producing wines that balance tradition, minimal intervention and a clear expression of the region’s cool-climate limestone soils.
