Domaine de l'Octavin, Hip Hip J… Chardonnay 2023 Grenache ungrafted vines planted at highPlace: Jura, France Grape: Chardonnay Vibe: Yum Fruit from around Arbois, mainly direct press but with some fruit that is destemmed and macerated for a month. 18 month levage helps everything harmonise. This is ripe fruited, almost quince like with some smoke and salt thrown in for good measure. It should come as no secret, that I really rate Jura in 2023. I remember this being a highlight from one of the dimly lit caves of the Loire, and I'm so glad
