Domaine de l'Arjolle Côtes de Thongue Chardonnay Dernière Cueillette 2021

	Not your everyday chardonnay
	Aged three months out of ten in barrels in the open air
	Powerful and full of flavour
	Delicious with fish, veal and poultry

Description

This unusual chardonnay not only ferments in new oak barrels, but also matures in the open air for three of the ten months. By not refilling the barrels, the wine develops a complex aroma in which fresh and aged notes coexist.

This special way of winemaking comes from the French Jura where the famous vin jaune is made. The dernière cueillette from Domaine de l'Arjolle is a fine example of this tradition!
