Domaine de la Borde - Terre du Lias 2018
Domaine de La Borde is located in the towns of Pupillin and Arbois in the Jura. The 5-hectare estate is managed by Julien Mareschal with respect for the terroir. The vineyard has been certified in organic farming since 2012, and biodynamic preparations are applied to all the vines. The local grape varieties are cultivated on plots whose soils and exposure reflect the typicality of each.
Terre du Lias comes from Chardonnay vines cultivated on a shallow clay-limestone terroir on deep blue Lias marls, exposed to the west on a steep slope and at an altitude of 450 meters. The harvest is manual then partially destemmed (30%). Static cold settling is carried out for 12 to 24 hours. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 600-litres barrels of 3 to 6 wines and in foudres. Aging lasts 12 months, on lees.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
