From L'Etoile, the star, one of the tiniest appellations in France, named for the star-shaped fossils buried in its ancient seabed soils. Domaine de Montbourgeau was founded a century ago and is famed for its complex Jura whites, but this white sparkler might be the smartest buy in the house. It's all Chardonnay from the estate's younger vines, grown on clay and limestone and bottled with zero dosage, so nothing gets in the way of that chalky, saline drive. Fine mousse, orchard fruit, real mineral cut: it drinks like fine Blanc de Blancs Champagne without asking for a special occasion.

"This is not a blend of vintages, but the vintage is not visible anywhere on the label to simplify them and be able to use the same ones across different harvests. I tasted the NV Cr?mant du Jura from the 2012 vintage -- a very dry, pure Chardonnay matured in contact with the lees for 18 months and bottled as a Brut, with less than three grams of sugar. The nose is clean and subtle, with some simple notes of white fruit, flowers and a little yeast character. The palate is fresh, equally clean, straightforward and easy to drink. The appellation started in 1995 and the first Cr?mant here is from 1996; the sparkling wines are quite popular locally and often represent a significant percentage in some cellars. 3,000 bottles produced."

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

An aperitif on its own, oysters, fried chicken, or a wedge of Comte. Just as happy with dessert.

Tasting Profile

Dry white sparkling with a fine mousse. Apple, pear, and lemon zest over chalky, saline minerality. Crisp and racy.

Domaine de Montbourgeau was founded a century ago, in the small Jura town of L’Etoile — the star — thus named because of the prodigious amount of star-shaped fossils in the soils, formed when ancient seas dried up.

Over the decades, they’ve become known for their white wines; like the best in the region, they are complex, saline, and (mostly) oxidative, with waxy yellow fruit and tons of minerality. They mostly grow Chardonnay, with a bit of Savagnin thrown in, as well as a smattering of red grapes.
