Star
The appellation l'Étoile takes its name from the five vine-covered hills around the village of l'Étoile, which form the branches of a star, as well as from the pentacrines, star-shaped fossils scattered throughout the vineyards.

The Étoile PDO covers 67 hectares. The main grape variety is Chardonnay, but Savagnin and Poulsard are also grown. The Étoile appellation produces dry white wine, vin jaune and vin de paille.

"The estate's signature, unique cuvée created to bring people together!"

Made from Chardonnay, Savagnin and a little Poulsard (a red grape variety vinified here as a white), this white wine is both typical of the Jura and very fresh. Gourmet notes of brioche and pear can be felt both on the nose and on the palate. Ideal for any occasion, this cuvée will appeal not only to wine lovers, but also (and above all) to those who want to get back in touch with Jura wines, thanks to its accessibility and fresh gourmandise!

This golden-yellow Chardonnay opens with a nose of hazelnut and white fruit. On the palate, it is supple, full-bodied and round, expressing elegance and finesse. Aged for 3 years in oak barrels, including one year under veil, this atypical cuvée marvelously combines the freshness of Chardonnay with the intensity of ageing. A wine for connoisseurs!

originality
winter

This particular cuvée comes from a plot planted with Chardonnay and Savagnin. In Banode, it expresses aromas of walnut and curry, with an intense, fat, taut mouthfeel. The time spent maturing in unoaked barrels has allowed the grape varieties to grow harmoniously, resulting in an original and exceptional cuvée.

"A well-crafted sailing wine in a powerful register, marked by ageing, but with a resolutely modern style that preserves the freshness of the fruit (pear, citrus). Tasty, slightly saline finish". (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve) An emblematic cuvee from the estate, this Chardonnay surprises, moves and delights the senses!

(2014 vintage notes)

This Vin de Paille exudes all the flavors of a great bottle: barley sugar, orange, quince, date in an airy, digestible style. The palate is juicy, salivating and rich. The tangy finish brings the tasting to a climax. A true work of art!

This Vin Jaune is a feast for the senses! Walnuts, hazelnuts, honey, smoke, dried fruit and sweet spices are all present in this colorful cuvée. Rich and powerful on the palate, its oily texture reveals all the charm of Savagnin. A wine for all hedonists!

"A new cuvée of Chardonnay from a plot planted in 1920, this Etoile Montangis 2015 follows the style of ripe, concentrated wines that Nicole's father and grandfather produced, slightly alcoholic wines with broad shoulders. It has the volume of Chardonnay and the marks of a warm vintage, showing power, concentration and good balance, with aromas reminiscent of nuts and dried spices. A powerful, ripe Chardonnay." ((Wine Advocate 2019 - Luis Gutiérrez) New challenge, new success for Domaine de Montbourgeau!
