Chardonnay, Burgundy, France

Jules Desjourneys isn’t a real person. Former wine agent Fabien Duperray named his domaine ‘Jules’ after the legendary Beaujolais vigneron Jules Chauvet and ‘Desjourneys’ just because it sounded nice, which makes us want to ditch our dull lives & take on a whole new identity somewhere else, so glam! Certified organic but farming biodynamically, this Chardonnay was fermented in concrete and aged in bespoke 400L barrels for up to three years. Pedigree’d and filigree’d to the nines, this is noble, opulent & shimmering in gold — marzipan, wine-poached pear, lemon pith, jasmine, vanilla bean & even a touch of creamy oak with a sharp, balanced acid to cut through all that lushness. Classic, will pair perfectly with anything & will even age beautifully for years to come.
