ABOUT THIS WINE
Domaine des Carlines Voile du Chardonnay is a 2018 white wine from the Côtes du Jura AOC in France, made from 100% Chardonnay. The wine's distinctive characteristic comes from its aging process, where a natural yeast veil forms, a method similar to Vin Jaune production, which imparts a unique oxidative complexity. The domain was founded in late 2015 by Patrick and Sophie Ligeron, who cultivate 11 hectares of vines in Ménétru-Le-Vignoble, with a portion in the Château-Châlon appellation. Their winemaking philosophy leans towards sustainable viticulture.
