Domaine de la Paturie, Pays de Franche-Comté (Jura, France) Chardonnay 2019

 This Jura is anything but your mother’s Chardonnay.  The wine is complex and oxidized with bruised apple, pear, almond skin, dried white flowers, and dried grapefruit peel.  Coeurs de Loups translates to "wolf heart" and the winery lists wolf’s blood as one of their tasting notes on the nose.  Tying the entire wine together is a rich acidity that helps elevate the fruit and provide a crisp and clean finish.  Jura makes interesting wines; this one is on my revisit list.
