Domaine De La Borde
Julien Mareschal like several of the young vignerons in the Jura was not born into a vine-owning family. In Julien’s case he came to the Jura at the age of 23 from an agricultural family after studying agronomy and then oenology at Dijon. He now has 5 hectares of vines in and around Pupillin some at the highest elevations (550 meters) and all his vines are organic or in conversion to biodynamic.
Description
Herb-tinged aromas of apricot, vineyard peach and acacia honey, complicated by discreet spices. Juicy on the palate, showing a vibrant if somewhat austere acid structure. This unctuous yet youthfully closed wine shows impressively persistent flavors of sweet, ripe stone fruits.
Food Pairing
Smoked salmon and sword or a chicken terrine in white wine sauce.
