Cremant du Jura Blanc de Blancs Brut, Domaine Jean-Luc Mouillard

All the joy of a proper bottle-fermented sparkler, with that crisp Jura zip. Made traditional method with second fermentation in bottle and a minimum of 12 months on lees, this is 100% Chardonnay delivering fine, persistent bubbles and a palate that’s fruit-forward yet beautifully brisk. On the nose it’s vibrant and clean—think citrus, apple and a little exotic-fruit lift—then it snaps into a fresh, mouthwatering finish that keeps you reaching for the next sip (and the next canapé). A dead-easy yes for shellfish, grilled or poached white fish, and soft cheeses (a Comté moment wouldn’t be out of place here, given the Jura setting).
