Before getting bogged down in an obscure region, let's state the most important details first. This classic method, single-harvest, 100% organic Chardonnay sparkler undergoes 30 months of lees contact before disgorgement with 0.5 g/l dosage, and it costs nearly half the price of Champagne. So, we think it's worth keeping this region and producer in mind. Located about 50 miles west of the Swiss border, the village of Pupillin in Arbois (Jura region) is where Mikael Crinquand tends to his family's 13 acres of vineyards among grain fields and pastures dedicated to the cows who supply milk for Comté cheese. The region is remote and still undiscovered by many wine lovers; however, the wines from Overnoy-Crinquand over-deliver for the money. The Crémant du Jura Blanc Brut is dry, minerally, leesy, elegantly foamy, and singing with crispy malic fruit, lemon, and honey.
