Granges Bernard – Chardonnay 2016 – Côtes du Jura

The nose is racy and offers power and minerality. It reveals notes of acacia, green apple and small notes of white flowers / iris associated with small touches of citrus, gunflint and discreet hints of vanilla (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, well-structured and offers suavity, roundness, straightness, a small acid frame, a racy minerality as well as tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of mirabelle plum, quince and small notes of citrus associated with small touches of apple as well as discreet hints of white flowers and a very discreet hint of acacia honey. Good length. There is a tannic hint on the finish.
