A saline, mildly oxidative white wine that's a classic from the Jura. L'Étoile is the oldest appellation in the Jura - named after the visibly shiny and star-shaped, limestone-rich soils. Made from local grapes: Chardonnay, Savagnin and the red grape, Poulsard that was pressed and vinified as a white wine. This is a gorgeous, dry white wine you can pair alongside roast chicken.

Reds from the Jura are often light-bodied, earthy, berried, and reminiscent of the village wines of Burgundy (though here they are made of local grapes like Poulsard and Trousseau). The true specialty of the region,...
