Then, there is the reverse blend of the Carte d’Or in the Cuvée Etoile, Chardonnay accounts for 85% while Meunier is at 15%. Here, the characteristics of the local Chardonnay are even more transparent. Its sherry-like, oxidized taste reminds me of the white wines from Jura. It has weight and contains a natural coat of butter and caramel. This wine is like nothing I’ve tasted before. A prime example of a terroir wine: one-of-a-kind. Moutardier will soon be launching a 100% Meunier wine in 2008 to celebrate its distinct location. Bravo!
