(92+ points) The 2023 Patchwork Chardonnay was produced with grapes from clay (60%) and limestone (40%) soils and aged in barrel for one year. 2023 was also warm, but the wine is fresher than the 2022, partially because of the good yields that produced fine-boned musts. The idea is to show the Jura, which is a blend of terroirs, in a white that is tasty, balanced and with a sense of ripe fruit. Fermentation of Chardonnay is increasingly difficult in warm vintages like 2022 and 2023, while Savagnin has easier fermentations. - Luis Gutiérrez

Made from grapes grown 60% on clay and 40% on limestone, the 2023 Arbois Chardonnay Patchwork is every bit as good as the 2022 I tasted last year. The medium- to full-bodied palate offers nuanced bruised apple, lemon zest and grapefruit. Refreshing and approachable, the tensile 2023 carries a touch of salinity on the sapid aftertaste. -- Nicolas Greinacher
