This Arbois Blanc "Dalles" is an incredibly suave, mineral-inflected offering.

The Jura region is one of France's smallest wine regions comprising just 2,500 hectares. However, despite its size, it has grown a steadfast reputation for the sheer quality of its idiosyncratic wines. Fabrice Dodane, owner of Domaine de Saint Pierre is part of a small group of discerning producers, which includes Jean-François Ganevat, who push the boundaries, making stunning, profound and complex wines. The "Les Dalles'' is made from a unique variety of Chardonnay called Melon de Jura, grown on a vineyard located on limestone and white marl soils located in Arbois. 

Freshly opened the most expressive wine of the current series, ripe fruit, lots of spice and fragrant aromas, papaya and banana, woodruff and mint, curry and cumin, each time smelling a new nuance, intense and complex. On the palate with a lot of pressure, plus a fine tannin, green characterizes the aroma, again woodruff and some sage, then there is also some charm and a certain enamel, clear and close-knit to the end. 100% Chardonnay.
