Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 87 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by sharonandroland on 7/19/2017 & rated 87 points: Seems slightly maderised or overly aged. (416 views)
 Tasted by avp on 9/3/2013: Earthy nose of rosehips, rust and juicy baked red berries.
Light to medium bodied and supple on the palate with nice acidic bite and good meaty weight. Notes of iron, blood, animality and some dried herbs. Mid-length.
Finely evolved. Really delivering the promised 8-10 years the producer has printed on the back-label. A shitload of sediment. @Tuulensuu (1068 views)

Domaine de la Pinte

Founded in 1953 by Roger Martin, Domaine de la Pinte started with 20 ha of vineyards, half of which are savagnin. Today it is 34 ha in production: 17 ha savagnin, 6 ha chardonnay, 1 ha melon à queue rouge, 7 ha poulsard, 4 ha trousseau and pinot noir. Splendid cellars with basket arches, built in the old way, in more than 3 years, with jurassic limestone of Montesserain carry. Hand harvest with 85% of the vineyard located just around the cellars. Soils: blue marl of Lias stretching from Arbois to Chateau Chalon. Organic wines since 1999 and biodynamic principles applied in the vineyard and winery since 2009.

Jura

A 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.
