De L'Avant 2020 - Maison Maenad

De L'Avant - Maison Maenad

Maison Menad's Chardonnay is a wine with great personality and persistence, coming from Jura, a splendid French region renowned above all for white wines. The grapes come from forty-year-old vines planted on red clay and limestone located in 'Les Varrons'. Refines in used barriques for 24 months. A great Chardonnay that fully describes the great terroir of Jura.

Service

We taste a temperature around 12/14 ° C. It is recommended to serve it in Tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairings

Excellent as an aperitif, paired with fish starters, fish main courses, ideal pairing with shrimp wrapped in bacon.

Winery:  Maison Maenad

Maison Menad is a young and dynamic company located in Orbagna, a French municipality of 181 inhabitants located in the Jura. The Maison is managed by Katie Worobeck who in the space of a couple of harvests has become one of the brightest young talents in the Jura. Katie, of Canadian origin, developed an interest in wine and organic farming during her studies, and in 2017 after doing an internship with the legendary Jean-François Ganevat, she decided to settle in the Jura, buying a house in Orbagna and renting a small plot of less than one hectare in “Les Varrons”. Here he grows Chardonnay, together with some rows of Gamay and old hybrids. In the vineyard his approach is to work alongside nature, and the only treatments, based on copper, sulphur, clay and plant extracts, are aimed at counteracting the presence of cryptogamic fungi. The wines are produced in an ancient cave located under Katie's house, she does not add any oenological product to the grape must. It does not correct the acidity of wines, it does not add yeasts. This way of working the land, the grapes and the wine is based on respect for nature and has ecological sustainability and maximum pleasure for those who taste the wine as its objectives. The wines of Maison Menad are delicate, fragrant and of a bewitching beauty.
