The 2021 Domaine des Carlines Côtes du Jura “Le Calvaire” is a beautifully precise Jura Chardonnay sourced from high-altitude limestone and marl soils near Château-Chalon. Fresh yet textured, it opens with aromas of citrus, green apple and white flowers layered with notes of wet stone, toasted nuts and subtle spice.
On the palate is vibrant and mineral-driven, balancing creamy texture with lively acidity and remarkable tension through a long, saline finish. The style is elegant and focused, showcasing the purity and freshness that define top Jura Chardonnay.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who love mineral-driven White Burgundy or Chablis but want something more distinctive and terroir-focused. It offers incredible freshness and complexity without heaviness. Perfect with seafood, roast chicken, mushroom dishes or Comté cheese. Enjoy now or cellar beautifully over the next 6–10 years.
