FEATURES
🏰 Domaine des Miroirs, led by Japanese ex-pat Kenjiro Kagami in the Jura region, is a cult estate celebrated for its delicate and pure natural wines. The name 'Mizuiro,' meaning 'light blue' in Japanese, perfectly evokes the wine's airiness and transparency. Les Saugettes is a small, biodynamically farmed parcel in Grusse, characterized by marl and limestone soils, where Chardonnay vines are meticulously tended by hand. These are 100% natural wines, undergoing spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, no filtration or fining, and zero added sulfites, followed by extended aging in used wooden barrels. Production is extremely limited, with a significant portion exported to Japan, making these bottles exceptionally rare. 【Extremely rare, cult-status Jura Chardonnay from a meticulous natural winemaker】.
This Chardonnay presents a pale straw yellow color with delicate golden reflections. It is subtle, ethereal, yet profoundly expressive. The nose offers fresh citrus, white flowers, crushed chalk, lemon zest, and a hint of fresh walnut, sometimes with a slight oxidative nuance or notes of yellow apple and gentle gunpowder reduction over chalky minerality. The palate is tense and vertical with vibrant acidity, deeply mineral and almost saline, culminating in a crystalline, fine, and lingering finish. It is pure, ample, and delicate, revealing striking minerality.
🍴 This exquisite white wine is perfect with refined and delicate dishes where precision is key. Consider raw seafood, seared scallops, young or aged Jura cheeses, tempura, or elegant Japanese cuisine. It also pairs beautifully with white meats and mushrooms.
🥂 An ideal choice for a connoisseur's tasting, a special occasion for natural wine enthusiasts, or an intimate meal featuring delicate and precise cuisine. Its unique character and rarity make it a truly memorable experience.
