This is Jura Chardonnay with nothing added and nothing taken away, made by a couple who learned their craft from Jean-François Ganevat, one of the region's great names. Peggy and Jean-Pascal Buronfosse left city life in 1999 for La Combe de Rotalier, Ganevat's village. They planned on a farm with vegetables, chickens, rabbits and pigs, but the vines won them over and they decided to grow their drink as well as their food. They bought a few small parcels and learned by trial and error, with Ganevat guiding them along the way. Marcus Terentius Varro comes from just half a hectare of organically farmed, hand-harvested vines on marl and limestone. It spends nine months on its lees in neutral oak barrels that are kept topped up (ouillé). That's the Jura's non-oxidative style, so expect Chardonnay rather than the region's nutty, sherry-like whites. It's bottled without fining, filtration or added sulfur, which makes it a serious natural white from a tiny family estate. It's worth seeking out if you love the Jura but can't always find (or afford) the big names.

Flatiron's Take

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Chicken with morels and cream (poulet aux morilles), a wedge of young Comté, trout meunière, or a Comté and leek tart.

Tasting Profile

Expect the topped-up, non-oxidative style of Jura Chardonnay: lemon, green apple and white flowers over a stony, chalky edge from the marl and limestone. Nine months on lees in neutral oak typically adds a gentle creamy texture without obvious oak flavour, while bright acidity keeps it taut through a dry, saline finish. Think a leaner, more mineral white Burgundy.
