Domaine Pignier Cotes du Jura Chardonnay Reculee 2023

Domaine Pignier’s Côtes du Jura Chardonnay Reculée 2023 is a structured, characterful white wine shaped by the slopes of Montaigu and the freshness of Jura Chardonnay. Biodynamically farmed grapes and a year in oak give it a distinctive balance of ripe fruit, texture and spice, while its maturation in a historic cellar links it to the region’s long winemaking heritage.

Tasting Notes
Golden yellow in the glass, it opens with clear, enveloping fruit aromas. The palate is full and rounded, with a pleasantly spicy character and lively freshness that keeps its generous texture in balance. Its structure suggests good potential for further development. The producer indicates that the wine can evolve over five to ten years when stored well.

Production
The grapes come from Domaine Pignier’s vineyards on the slopes of Montaigu in Côtes du Jura. The estate follows biodynamic practices and holds Demeter certification. The Chardonnay is made using the ouillé method, in which barrels are kept topped up to limit oxidation and preserve the fruit’s character, then aged for 12 months in oak in a historic cellar.

Food & Serving
Enjoy it with starters, pasta, fish, poultry or other light meats, and a selection of cheeses. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, to show both its freshness and texture. A brief time in the glass should be sufficient; decanting is optional, though a short decant may help the wine open if it is young.

Producer
Domaine Pignier is based in the Jura, where its vineyards on Montaigu’s slopes reflect the region’s hilly landscape. Its biodynamic, Demeter-certified approach places respect for the soil and vineyard ecosystem at the centre of its work. The estate’s historic cellar, described as around 700 years old, is a notable part of its winemaking heritage.
