Tasting notes
The NV Crémant du Jura was produced with Chardonnay from vines planted in 2017 on Montmorain and in the 1980s on Galmard is from 2022, but the vintage is not mentioned anywhere on the bottle. They harvested early in 2022. It's a young, fresh and straightforward sparkling wine with lively bubbles and a fresh and lightish palate. It was in stainless steel for seven months before it was put to referment in bottle, where it was kept with lees and aged for 18 months. It's a Brut Zero, with no dósage.

The Brut Zéro Crémant du Jura comes as a multi-vintage blend, but this release predominantly features a 2020 base wine. After spending roughly seven months in stainless steel tanks, the Montbourgeau Crémants rest on their fine lees in bottle for up to 20 months. Linear and focused, this bone-dry Brut Zéro showcases toasty aromas intertwined with oyster shell and lemon peel. Anchored by a firm acidic backbone, this clear-cut Crémant finishes fresh and to the point.
Mytik stopper (same source as Diam). Far from the most glamorous label, Tiny, fine bead. Not too frothy. Clean, light, nose with lovely round texture (not sweetness) on the palate. Delicate but utterly satisfying. Not complex, and probably too light to drink with food, but with an attractive subalpine hint of its provenance. GV (JR)
Chardonnay. Pretty retro label. Good tang – recognisably Jura – Chardonnay with bite. Clean and revitalising. Less aggressive than a cheap champagne. GV (JR)
