Cuvée Jules reflects the forward-thinking of this winemaker, his tenacity to perfect the ageing process in the cellar, and to initiate other paths. This chardonnay blends 70% from Côte des Blancs and 30% from Sézannais. The dosage of 5 g/L establishes a balance between mineral and organoleptic floral and fruity nuances. The 30% aged in oak barrels instills a different density.
Nose
The initial aromas are of the chalk as well as mature fruits and vegetal notes. The fruit aromas become citrus peel, nectarine, quince and honey. Pastry notes appear. The chalk aroma reveals white mushrooms, mint, and fern.
Mouth
The effervescence is extremely fine due to the long period of aging. The sweetness is not perceived but experienced in the full mouth feel. The acidity is juicy and joins the slight sweetness to balance the body of the wine. The drying sensation on the tongue is provided by the chalky soil and gives the finish the chalky notes with fresh almonds, bread and lemon zest. This wine should be enjoyed now and over the next decade.
