Alexandre Jouveaux
Uchizy, Burgundy, France
Le Mont 2024
An iconic cuveé and label for Alexandre. Representing one of his older vineyards, a small parcel of Chardonnay planted in the early 60's. Less than a hectare of vines at high elevation, on Clay Limestone soils. Isolated and pristine. The fruit from Le Mont sees a hard direct pressing and aging on lees for 2 years in Foudres. Occasionally topped up in the cellar, this vintage is very gently oxidative, but its highlight is its intensely mineral edge. Fragrant and saline with a flinty/ rocky nose. This is Alexandre's most pure and hyper-fresh cuvée. Citrus driven with explosive energy and acidity. Richness and rockiness in balance. A breath of fresh air, and a wine thats completely invigorating. Apples, citrus, pears, and stone. A canon bottle for those who chase the wilder side of Burgundy. Put this one away if you can.
