Domaine JL Mouillard AOC I'Etoile Selection Chardonnay/Savagnin 2020

Domaine JL Mouillard AOC L’Étoile Sélection 2020 is a distinctive Jura white that captures the region’s signature balance of freshness, texture, and savory complexity. Built on Chardonnay and Savagnin, it offers both elegance and depth, with the traditional sous voile ageing adding a layer of unmistakable Jura character. The result is a wine that speaks clearly of one of France’s most storied small appellations.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a deep golden hue with subtle amber reflections, hinting at its extended ageing. The nose is richly layered with roasted nuts, dried citrus peel, ripe orchard fruit, brioche, warm spice, and a saline, stony edge. The palate is generous and complex, combining Chardonnay’s roundness and citrus brightness with Savagnin’s mineral intensity and savory depth. A lively backbone of acidity keeps everything lifted, while the texture is creamy and persistent, finishing long with nutty, saline, and lightly oxidative notes. It has excellent ageing potential and should continue to gain nuance over time.

Production
L’Étoile is one of Jura’s most prestigious appellations, defined by limestone-rich soils, cool continental climate, and a terroir that naturally produces wines of precision and mineral drive. Domaine Jean-Luc Mouillard works organically in Mantry, at around 300 meters above sea level, where the vineyards benefit from the freshness and structure that define the region. The grapes are harvested with care and undergo spontaneous fermentation before ageing for 2–3 years sous voile in old oak barrels, a traditional Jura method that encourages subtle oxidation and the development of the wine’s signature aromatic complexity.

Food & Serving
This is a highly gastronomic white wine that pairs beautifully with Comté, mushroom dishes, roast poultry, creamy sauces, white fish, and dishes featuring nuts or gentle spice. Serve slightly cool, ideally around 12–14°C, to allow the wine’s texture and aromas to fully open. Decanting is not essential, but a short period in the glass or a gentle decant can help reveal its complexity.

Producer
Domaine Jean-Luc Mouillard was founded in 1991 in Mantry, in the heart of Jura, and has built a reputation for crafting expressive, terroir-driven wines with a particular focus on Chardonnay and Savagnin. The estate works organically and emphasizes minimal intervention, allowing the character of the vineyards and the region to shine through. With vineyards planted on Jura’s limestone slopes and a style rooted in tradition, the domaine has become a respected name for authentic, elegant wines from this distinctive French region.
