Michel Gahier Arbois Blanc Chardonnay Les Crets 2023
Jura Chardonnay raised 'sous voile'—under a protective veil of yeast—on white marl soils. Michel Gahier (family in Montigny-lès-Arsures since 1525, biodynamic, certified Nature & Progrès) presses directly into foudre without winter topping, allowing the wine to develop complex oxidative character naturally. Les Crêts' 45-year-old vines on 'marnes blanches' (white marl) produce a distinctly mineral expression. Zero sulfur added since the mid-1990s. If you enjoy sherry-like complexity but in a dry white wine context, this is your gateway to oxidative Jura.
