2021 Domaine de l'Octavin 'Elle Aime' Jura, Vin de France Sandlands Black cherryA blend of roughly three parts of Pinot Noir and one of Chardonnay, planted next to one another over limestone and marl in En Arces in Arbois. The two varieties were destemmed and infused together for two months before being pressed and returned to cuve for a year of levage.
