Nestled between La Marcette and Champ-Berrand, Les Charots in one of Pupillin’s smaller lieu-dits. It sits on a very steep slope under La Marcette on orange-tinted soils rich in iron. There’s a lot of yellow Bajocian limestone, too, which Benjamin finds gives this wine a more chiselled personality and citrusy, mineral edge. From 30-year-old vines, this was first made in 2021. To emphasise the different terroirs of each parcel, the winemaking for all the Chardonnays remains very similar. All the grapes are pressed as whole bunches into used 600-litre barrels for fermentation and 12 months of lees-aging. Benjamin then decants off the gross lees, and the wine rests on clean lees in stainless steel for a further six months, allowing him to bottle the wines without filtration. It’s a stunning wine, well summed up by the note below.

The Cellier Saint Benoit Arbois Pupillin Courbes Raies Chardonnay 2022 is a stunning example of the Jura region's mastery of cool-climate Chardonnay. Aromas of crisp green apple and ripe pear are complemented by delicate notes of toasted almond and a touch of honey. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and refreshing, with a bright acidity that balances out the creamy texture. The limestone soils of Pupillin lend a mineral complexity to the wine, adding layers of flint and wet stone to the already complex flavour profile. The 2022 vintage is a standout, with a beautiful pale gold colour and a long, lingering finish. This is a wine that will continue to evolve and develop over the next few years, making it a great addition to any cellar. A true gem from Cellier Saint Benoit that showcases the best of Jura's Chardonnay.

The 2022 Moillard Grivot Chassagne Montrachet Les Embazees Premier Cru is a stunning example of Burgundy's finest white wines. Produced by the esteemed Moillard-Grivot winery, this Premier Cru is a true testament to their expertise. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe peach, honeyed apricot, and toasted almonds dance alongside subtle hints of vanilla and butter. The golden colour hints at the wine's rich, full-bodied palate, which is highlighted by flavours of tropical fruits, citrus, and a touch of oak. The mouthfeel is luxurious, with a perfect balance of acidity and creaminess. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a delightful lingering sensation of hazelnuts and mineral notes. This 2022 vintage is a true gem, destined to age gracefully for years to come. Enjoy with a decadent seafood dish or a creamy cheese platter for a truly unforgettable experience.
