| Community Tasting Notes (average 89 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Cellar603 on 12/20/2007 & rated 89 points: I'm glad I drank this when I did. It was probably at or around its peak. A little more extracted than I remembered it, much more PN-ish. The color was unreal, about as translucent ruby as it gets. The nose was a ton of fruit, with a touch of caramel that would probably have evolved into oxidation in another 6-9 months. The palate seemed to be not quite as fresh and vibrant as it once was, and seemed a bit more serious. Dark cherry and strawberry fruit with some extraction and a weight that is new. A great, no-nonsense bottle. (1770 views) | | | Tasted by 14frimaire on 10/24/2005: Pale salmon color with bright acidity and fresh red-berry fruit with an earthy undertone. Is that earthy quality inherent in the grape? I've seen it in one or two others (Overnoy comes to mind). These wines remind me of a hypothetical mix of Beaucastel, for the earthiness, and, maybe Fourrier or Mugnier for transparency and purity. It's an unusual combination that somehow works, esp. with a mushroom dish. Though not for the acid-shy. (2648 views) |

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comJuraA petite and relatively obscure wine region in eastern France, between Burgundy and the Swiss border. Its geographical isolation has helped it to remain a rare bastion of traditional winemaking techniques, and today it produces some of the most distinctive wines in the world. Reds from the Jura are often light-bodied, earthy, berried, and reminiscent of the village wines of Burgundy (though here they are made of local grapes like Poulsard and Trousseau). While Chardonnay features widely, the true specialty of the region is the Vin Jaune (“yellow wine”) made from the white Savagnin grape. Cloudy, difficult Vin Jaune is made only in the best vintages, and must be aged for at least six years before being released. As it ages under a layer of yeast, known locally as “voile,” the wine slowly oxidizes, leading to complex aromas and flavors that range from walnut skin to sultana to spices and truffles. Famously long lived it is always sold in dumpy 62 cl bottle - the wine lost in production having been taken by les anges.
