Nous Buvons: Domaine de l’Aigle a Deux Têtes, Côtes du Jura '07



From the often over looked hills of France’s Jura region comes this rare chardonnay; mineral driven, slightly oxidized, and full of natural yeast flavors.  This is a wine representative of a style unique to the Jura, where wines are allowed to occur naturally, not coaxed artificially through modern techniques. 


These naturally low yielding fifty-year-old vines produce only four hundred cases of wine a year, making it one of the rarest on our list. Currently at Buvette we are enjoying this unique regional wine by the glass, or better yet by the bottle.
