A single hectare of south-facing Jura Chardonnay that spent three full years in big old barrels before bottling. That's real patience from a domaine this young and this small. Cédric Mottet started Domaine des Notes Bleues in 2017 with a plot of old-vine Chardonnay he bought from Stéphane Tissot, and named it for his love of jazz. He took Tissot's parcel-by-parcel thinking with him, along with the precise farming and winemaking he learned from Jean-Michel Petit of Domaine de la Renardière. Le Cul du Bray sits near the village of Mesnay, just outside Arbois. The soil is deep, limestone-rich gravel over Liassic marls, and the vines are farmed organically and picked by hand. The 2022 crop came in at just 20 hectoliters per hectare, which is a very small harvest. In the cellar Mottet keeps things hands-off: used 400-liter French oak, no lees stirring, then 36 months in barrel and bottling without fining or filtration. He farms 6.5 hectares and has no plans to grow, so single-site bottles like this one will stay tiny.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Aged Comté or Mont d'Or, roast chicken in a morel and cream sauce, trout with brown butter and almonds, wild mushroom gratin, or a gruyère and onion tart.

Tasting Profile

Expect the taut, mineral style of Arbois Chardonnay grown on limestone and marl: lemon, green apple and pear, with a saline, stony edge. Three years in large old barrels typically adds texture and a gentle hazelnut note rather than obvious oak, all carried by firm, bright acidity. Think a leaner, more savoury white Burgundy, finishing dry and long.
