2023 Michel Gahier Arbois Blanc 'Lou' Jura, France Agua Magica full malolactic fermentationThe grapes for the new Lou Blanc cuve, which benefit from limestone and clay soils in the vineyard are manually harvested and sorted prior to pressing. The wine is made in the ouill style where the barrels are topped up during maturation so that the wine does not oxidise in the barrel. This winemaking approach ensures that the resultant wine is fresh and lively with the typical Jura taste of topped up Chardonnay.
