2023 Michel Gahier, Arbois Blanc Chardonnay "Les Follasses", Jura, France Pascal Cotat 2017 Veyder-Malberg Liebedich Gruner VeltlinerThe soil in this single vineyard site in Montigny is typical clay limestone mix. Gahier leaves this wine under the veil (sous voile) for a more extensive period of time than the Les Crets; thus, the wine reflects the classical hazelnut and honeyed quality of the best of the whites from the region. Typically, it is quite full bodied but carries a significant level of acidity that makes the wine particularly age worthy.
