The golden-colored 2020 Crémant du Jura Blanc de Noir comes from a massal selection of Pinot Noir on clay soils. There is more bitterness here, more vinous character. It has a copper color and an intense nose, pungent and dry. From now on this, will also be a vintage blend, not a single-vintage wine.
