Note di degustazione
Served from a rather magnificent Jura-shaped magnum in which all the production was bottled. This was the first single-vineyard wine produced by d'Angerville's new Jura adventure grown on their first vineyard. The site near Montigny-lès-Arsures is on white marl, with vines planted in the late 1990s, and faces south at the end of a tunnel so is notably hot. Long, refined and cool. Still youthful. (JR)

Magnum (very handsome!); Chardonnay grown on a single, south-facing marl parcel. Great personality even if in a minor key. Firm and with excellent length. (JR)
Produced with Chardonnay grown on marl soils from south-facing vines planted in 2001, the 2016 Arbois En Barbi Chardonnay is a ripe Chardonnay from a place that tends to ripen quite early. This was vinified like the rest of the Chardonnay, with one-third in barrels and two-thirds in foudre. The nose shows some yellow fruit, and the palate seems to have more volume but, at the same time, more acidity too. They only bottled 300 magnums and a handful of half bottles, and due to the frost, they will not have more in 2017. This will be sold in the US and UK only.
