Vin Jaune is the Jura's legend, and Domaine de Montbourgeau makes a benchmark one. Grown from Savagnin in the fossil-strewn soils of L'Etoile, the wine spends over six years aging in barrel under a veil of yeast, untopped, slowly turning gold and developing its famous nutty, savory intensity. The result is unlike almost anything else in wine: dry, powerful, and endlessly complex, with curry spice, walnut, and a saline tang that lingers for ages. It's bottled in the traditional squat clavelin and built to age for decades. A true original for the adventurous.

More about Domaine de Montbourgeau

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.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine:

Made exclusively from the Savagnin grape, the Vin Jaune of Montbourgeau is always produced from a late harvest. After fermentation the wine is racked into foudres (30 hectoliter size) and then, after six months, racked again into smaller barrels. It is never topped off, the “voile” appears and the wine is left for at least seven years to age in barrel before being declared “Vin Jaune” and being bottled. The “Jaune” of Montbourgeau is more high-toned than the Jaunes of Puffeney and Gahier, less broad perhaps but more fine, a clear reflection of the appellation of L’Etoile.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Comte cheese, chicken in vin jaune and morel sauce, curries, or roasted nuts.

Tasting Profile

Dry, full-bodied and intense, with walnut, curry spice, dried apple and a long saline finish. Singular and savory.
