Comprising an enviable collection of old, traditional Jura vines – Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Trousseau, Chardonnay, and Savagnin – these are among France’s oldest continuously-worked vineyards.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Alain de Laguiche, d’Arlay’s current owner and a descendant of its founding family, believes that the estate’s sheltered and south-facing slopes are the secret to its success. Indeed, this unique terroir – deep grey marl soils covered by chalk – is regarded as some of the region’s finest. A proponent of biodynamic farming and quality-focused vinification methods, Alain crafts a mesmerising array of wines unique to the Jura and, in some cases, even the estate.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;In addition to its celebrated varietal bottlings of Chardonnay, Savagnin, and Pinot Noir, d’Arlay is known for its delicious, pink-hued ‘Corail’ – a blend of all the region’s varieties, red and white – as well as the labour intensive, lusciously sweet Vin de Paille made from dried grapes. However, the château’s jewel is undoubtedly its intense, nutty Vin Jaune – a Sherry-like ‘yellow wine’ made from Savagnin in only the best vintages and aged under a veil of yeast for 7 years.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;After minimal fining and filtering, bottles are matured in the château’s impressive 17th century cellars until Alain chooses to release them – often significantly later than other producers. Such is their fruit concentration and structure that these wines are exceptionally long-lived, a subtle oxidative complexity emerging with age.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45131700011190,"sku":"31449","price":13.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/d-arlay-tradition-blanc2022_31449_01_f391b413_da3bd371-2d1c-4d24-ae70-f08f58da55c7.jpg?v=1779109039","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/d-arlay-tradition-blanc2022-31449","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
