Cellier Saint Benoît Arbois Pupillin Chardonnay ‘Les Charots’ '23

This single-vineyard Chardonnay shines with a luminous straw-yellow color. The aromatic profile is intense and mineral-driven, leaping from the glass with scents of crisp green apple, lemon zest, wet limestone, and a faint smoky flint note. The palate is defined by its razor-sharp focus and electric energy, featuring a stunning line of acidity that carries pure, precise flavors of green pear, quince, and a profound chalky salinity. Its texture is sleek and linear, leading to a long, tense finish that echoes with stony minerality. Sourced from a specific parcel on marl soils, it is vinified in stainless steel to preserve every ounce of its breathtaking tension and purity. Earning 93 points, this is a brilliant expression of Jura terroir that is sublime with raw scallops, oysters, or river fish poached in white wine.
