Domaine Pecheur Cotes du Jura Chardonnay, France 1982

Domaine Pêcheur Côtes du Jura Chardonnay 1982  A rare, historic Jura bottling from a single forgotten barrel of Chardonnay discovered and bottled decades later. Now fully mature, it shows a complex oxidative profile of dried apricot, walnut, honey, spice, and cider like notes, balanced by surprising underlying freshness and acidity. Deep, nutty, and savory, it sits closer in style to aged Vin Jaune than classic Chardonnay, offering a unique snapshot of long Jura barrel aging.

Domaine Pêcheur is a small family estate in Darbonnay, Jura, founded in 1976. The domaine focuses on traditional Jura varieties and winemaking, including long barrel aging and occasional oxidative styles, with an emphasis on old vines and classic regional expression.
