Domaine de la Renardière Crémant du Jura

From the Jura village of Pupillin, Jean-Michel Petit crafts this vibrant traditional-method sparkling wine from organically farmed Chardonnay. Fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts before a second fermentation in bottle and around 16 months ageing on the lees, giving the wine both precision and a gentle creamy texture.

In the glass it shows a pale lemon colour with fine, persistent bubbles. Aromas of ripe pear, citrus and fresh white fruit mingle with subtle notes of toast and brioche from the lees ageing. The palate is bright and mineral, balancing crisp acidity with a soft, rounded mousse and hints of apple, peach and lemon zest, finishing long and refreshingly saline.
