Arbois Pupillin "Terre du Lias" 2019 Domaine de la Borde
The "Terre du Lias" from Domaine de la Borde is an eloquent example of Jura Chardonnay, distinguished by its intensity and refined characteristics. This wine, crafted from Chardonnay grapes cultivated on clay-limestone soils at an altitude of approximately 450 meters, is an authentic expression of the synergy between the grape variety and the Jura terroir.
Following a meticulous manual harvest, the clusters undergo a delicate destemming and initial must clarification at controlled temperatures. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 600-liter oak barrels, followed by a 12-month aging period in contact with fine lees. This process imparts extraordinary complexity to the wine and an aging potential of up to 15 years, provided it is properly stored.
The intense, golden-hued color that pours into the glass anticipates the imminent sensory experience. The nose reveals a perfect harmony between the grape variety and its place of origin, with distinct notes of clarified butter, vanilla, and flint. On the palate, the "Terre du Lias" presents itself as a harmonious and balanced wine, with a rich and enveloping structure. The richness of flavor is counterbalanced by freshness and salinity, creating an extraordinary equilibrium.
This complete wine, dominated by elegance, is particularly well-suited for refined gastronomic pairings. It pairs wonderfully with seafood, white fish in sauce, or lightly seasoned white meats. The talented winemaker, Julien Mareschal, with his unique sensibility, has shaped a wine that captures the essence of the Jura and provides an extraordinary tasting experience. The "Terre du Lias" stands as a true ambassador of the Jura's terroir and winemaking tradition.
