Jurassique is the Petit family’s Chardonnay from Pupillin, in the Arbois appellation: organically farmed vines on blue marl, picked by hand, fermented with native yeasts and raised in barrel.
Mineral, lemon, hay. It is a bomb of minerality, very precise and a real delight. Still very young, it stayed much the same in the glass. It has a long life ahead.
We drank it at a tasting dinner built around onion that Catarina cooked. It went with the first three courses: a raw shallot and anchovy tartlet, smoked salmon with pickled red onion, and an onion consommé served in a roasted onion.
