Domaine la Grapp'a "Père Guy" Côtes du Jura Blanc, France 2021

FROM DOMAINE LA GRAPP'A:

THE WINE: Another old vine plot that sees a gentle whole bunch maceration before being sent off to neutral barrel to chill. Pure pithy citrus dominates but there is plenty of herbal nuance and salinity knocking about too. Large pours, a bit of cheese and you're golden.

THE PRODUCER: La Grapp'a is a brand new area in the Jura. The first cuvées (tasted on barrels) will arrive in the spring of 2022 but we invite you to discover while waiting for their very first cuvée, a natural sparkling wine called Pet Nat Musc'Alis. Parla Aurélie and Maublanc Julien settled in Arbois and signed their first vintage in 2021. The vines are worked in organic and biodynamic agriculture, on 4.5 hectares. Many very qualitative and very well exposed plots which are composed of Pinot Fin, planted recently, old massales of Chardonnay, yellow savagnin 3309, green savagnin (top for acidity), Trousseau and Poulsard. They are currently looking to extend the wine-growing area a little, but have set themselves the objective of not exceeding 10 hectares. They also have a very beautiful winery to make the best natural wines possible, as well as a 16th century cellar to raise white wines.
