2023 Michel Gahier, Arbois Blanc Chardonnay "Les Follasses", Jura, France Pascal Cotat Polk County AVAThe soil in this single vineyard site in Montigny is typical clay limestone mix. Gahier leaves this wine under the veil (sous voile) for a more extensive period of time than the Les Crets; thus, the wine reflects the classical hazelnut and honeyed quality of the best of the whites from the region. Typically, it is quite full bodied but carries a significant level of acidity that makes the wine particularly age worthy.
