Jura native François Rousset-Martin is a proud ambassador of local wine tradition but also loves to tinker, and his cellar is full of experiments with both oxidative and so-called “Burgundian” whites. But there is nothing Burgundian about this topped-up Chardonnay: aromas of fleshy pineapple and salted butter let you know immediately where you are. The interplay of laser focus with a deep exoticism could only come from the Jura, and not just anyone’s cellar. François bottles his entire production by hand, straight from the barrel without fining or filtration, and you can certainly taste this bold commitment to quality. - Importer's Note
