The 2020 Domaine des Carlines Trémoulettes Chardonnay is a characterful Jura Chardonnay that highlights the region’s distinctive combination of freshness, texture and mineral complexity. Sourced from the Trémoulettes vineyard, this wine reflects the limestone-rich soils and cool climate of the Jura, offering a nuanced expression of Chardonnay that differs from its Burgundian counterparts.
The nose is expressive and inviting, revealing aromas of ripe apple, pear and lemon zest alongside notes of toasted almond, white flowers and subtle flinty minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright acidity, a textured mouthfeel and layered flavours of orchard fruit, citrus and gentle nutty complexity. The finish is long, savoury and mineral-driven, delivering both freshness and depth.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay lovers looking to explore the unique wines of the Jura. Its balance of fruit, texture and mineral character makes it highly versatile with food. Pair with roast chicken, Comté cheese, grilled seafood, creamy mushroom dishes or pork loin. Enjoy now or cellar over the next 5–8 years as additional complexity and savoury detail emerge.
