Saturday Special - One Amazing Jura White Wine - Domaine Ratte

Ratte 2019 Arbois 'Grandcurolet' - Chardonnay
This is incredibly refined, with beautiful spiced lemon and sea air aromatics, with little touches of dried pineapple and crushed almonds. On the palate there is more yellow and orange citrus and crisp apricot, rounded out with some classic Jura spice. But the mineral core here is most alluring - the stone is totally exposed. It adds so much freshness, though there is no shortage of acidity. The end result is a wine of great delicacy. My colleague Mariko compared it to a ballet dancer, stepping lightly but with perfect precision.
