All auctions / Wine & Spirits / 2023 - Allante & Boulanger - Phenomaynal - Jura - 1 Bottle (0.75L)
One of the loveliest cuvées from the mythical and hard-to-find Jura estate: Allante & Boulanger, for the Chardonnay Phenomaynal cuvée, vintage 2023! Rare and desirable! Possibility to delay delivery in case of high heat upon request. Delivery in Europe, armored/shielded shipment. Bottle intact, kept in ideal conditions. Allante Boulanger is a domaine whose name honors Christian Allante and Matthieu Boulanger, two friends who have worked at Labet for more than 15 years and who decided to launch their own project in parallel, initially for their personal consumption. Both buy parcels as opportunities arise, creating in a few years a 3.2-hectare vineyard, located between Rotalier and Gizia, in the southern Jura. The vines, planted on gentle slopes at around 300 meters altitude and mainly oriented south and west, drive their roots into marl-limestone soils, and are cultivated according to biodynamic principles. The grape varieties include Savagnin, Chardonnay, Poulsard, Gamay, and Pinot Noir. They own a few vines of the almost extinct petit Béclan, which adds a wild touch to their blend. Here are wines of pure juice, aged slowly in barrels, which are not done making their mark. Christian and Matthieu have each built a winery in their respective villages: in Rotalier and in Gizia. The winemaking is natural, beginning with only indigenous yeast and without the addition of inputs, notably sulfites. The whites are vinified with whole grape, while the reds are de-stemmed by hand; pressing is particularly slow and gentle. The élevage takes place in aged barrels. The wines are neither racked nor filtered and bottling is done by hand. The plot from which this cuvée comes was taken over in 2005 by Christian Boulanger and Matthieu Allante, at the very beginning of their partnership. Located in the village of Maynal, on red marl soils above limestone scree, it was previously worked by Jean-François Ganevat. They cultivate old Chardonnay vines of 90 years, biodynamically, which they harvest by hand and ferment in demi-muids of about ten years. The vinification is without inputs, without sulfur, and relies only on indigenous yeasts. The élevage continues for 24 months on the lees, before bottling without fining or filtration. Phenomaynal is decidedly well named, as it reveals itself infinitely savory and elegant. The nose offers notes of green apple, nectarine, and a pronounced minerality reminiscent of wet pebbles. The palate unfolds a taut framework, extending into a finish with beautiful bitterness. A great success.
