The 2018 Domaine des Carlines Côtes du Jura “Le Calvaire” is a beautifully mature Jura Chardonnay that combines richness, minerality and subtle oxidative complexity in classic Jura style. Sourced from limestone and marl soils near Château-Chalon, it opens with aromas of baked apple, citrus peel and pear layered with toasted nuts, butter, flint and delicate spice. T
On the palate is textured and energetic, balancing creamy depth with vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish that reflects the region’s distinctive terroir. The style is elegant yet characterful, offering complexity and freshness without heaviness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent option for adventurous white wine lovers and Burgundy drinkers looking to explore the unique character of Jura. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, mushroom dishes, creamy seafood or Comté cheese. Enjoy now for its layered complexity or cellar over the next 3–5 years.
