Valentin Morel, Saint-Savin 'Chardonnay' 2020 Pet-Nat + Friends although that's becoming a harderPlace: Jura, France Grape: Chardonnay Vibe: YES 40 year old vines on Bathonian marls. Super flinty, followed up by fleshy yellow fruit. I dart between my favoured Chardonnay regions regularly, but this has firmly put me in the Jurassien camp, for now. Theres a little jasmine in there, and a persistent finish that always brings something new to the fore. Now with a little bottle age things have become quite frankly mind bending. Savoury and seductive.
