The Story
Domaine de Montbourgeau was founded a century ago in the tiny Jura town of L'Etoile, the star, named for the star-shaped fossils that fill its soils, relics of seas that dried up eons ago. This is the estate's flagship L'Etoile white, mostly Chardonnay with a touch of Savagnin, and it's the perfect entry point to the house style: complex, saline, mineral-driven, with waxy yellow fruit and a finish that goes on. Fresh and current, it captures everything that makes Jura Chardonnay so beloved, at a price that makes exploring easy.
