Domaine de Montbourgeau, L'Etoile "Cuvee Speciale", 2011
Domaine de Montbourgeau was founded a century ago in the tiny Jura town of L'Etoile, the star, named for the star-shaped fossils that pepper its soils, left behind when ancient seas dried up. The estate is celebrated for whites that are complex, saline, and mostly oxidative, all waxy yellow fruit and ringing minerality. The Cuvee Speciale is the top Chardonnay, made for the long haul. This back-vintage 2011 has had well over a decade to deepen, and it shows in its layered, mineral-driven character. A mature Jura Chardonnay for anyone who loves wines that tell time.
