Francois Rousset-Martin La Chaux Burgundy France 2020 Chardonnay Wine

Jura Chardonnay François Rousset-Martin 2020

Nestled in the heart of France’s Jura region, François Rousset-Martin crafts a Chardonnay that redefines the boundaries of Burgundian tradition. Hailing from the marl slopes of Château-Chalon—a terroir famously linked to oxidative Savagnin wines—this bottling takes a bold departure by embracing meticulous barrel management. Through precise topping-off techniques, Rousset-Martin preserves the wine’s vibrant freshness, offering a striking contrast to the oxidative styles typically associated with Jura whites.

Aromatically alluring, this Chardonnay unfolds with notes of candied lemon zest and warm spices, inviting you into a sensory experience that balances elegance with complexity. On the palate, crisp acidity frames flavors of beeswax and toasted almonds, while a velvety texture mirrors the terroir’s mineral depth. At 13.5% alcohol, it strikes a harmonious balance between richness and restraint, making it an ideal companion for refined seafood dishes or autumnal charcuterie boards.

For connoisseurs seeking a Jura Chardonnay that defies convention, this 2020 vintage is a testament to terroir-driven innovation. Elevating the region’s versatility, it stands apart as a sophisticated choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate both tradition and experimentation.
