Chateau d'Arlay Cotes du Jura Corail 2017 750ml
Product Details
Please Note: This is a wine from The Jura region of France. Traditionally they may be aged oxidatively and be somewhat funky. It is an intentional style not a wine flaw.
The most traditional expression of wine from Jura. Deep crimson with striking minerality, a nose of red fruits, sous bois, leather bound books and baking spice. The palate shows complex flavors of red cherry, sandalwood and toasted nuts framed by refreshing acidity and firm tannins.
This wine is created by macerating and co-fermenting all of the red (Pinot Noir, Trousseau and Poulsard) and white (Chardonnay, Savagnin) grape varieties of the Jura, which comes from a local tradition that has all but disappeared. The vineyards face due south, on a very rich soil made up of grey marl with limestone rolled stones. After vinification, the wine is aged in oak barrels for 4 years before bottling. Interested in keeping things traditional, Alain has kept his lineup of wines easy to follow, even for Côte du Jura! One of the last, if not THE last, Jura wineries producing a 'Corail' (Coral) style wine from all five Jura varietals (Red: Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Trousseau. White: Savagnin, Chardonnay), Alain will tell you that a century ago the overwhelming majority of wines produced were 'Corail' with very few reds and whites to be found.
