Domaine de Montbourgeau, L'Etoile Savagnin, 2022
Domaine de Montbourgeau, a century-old estate in the Jura village of L'Etoile, is best known for Chardonnay, but it grows a little Savagnin too, the grape behind the region's most distinctive wines. This bottling spotlights it directly. Savagnin grown in L'Etoile's fossil-rich soils delivers ringing minerality, saline tension, and the nutty, slightly oxidative character that makes Jura whites so singular. If you're curious about what makes this corner of France a cult favorite, start here. It's a fascinating, food-loving white that rewards a little attention.
