 Tasted by UpfromtheCellar on 10/28/2023 & rated 89 points: Cherry coffee color, fragrant nose, hint of savory, delightful flavors! Better on day two even. Who wuda thunk. At 25€ not a great buy but delish none the less. 89+ (65 views)
 Tasted by Collector1855 on 10/15/2020 & rated 91 points: Wow, this is extremely light, very translucent color. Lovely nose though with crunchy red fruit, bright acidity, spices and an earthy touch. Surprise to see 14% alc in a wine of this color. Feels light and crisp on the palate though. Great wine for an apero platter (1246 views)
 Tasted by Raage on 10/8/2020 & rated 91 points: Ce vin ne cesse de s’améliorer …
Bon, bien aéré, son nez m’evoque un croisement de gamay nature séduisant (griotte-cerise-rose-pot pourri) et de notes infusées chères aux vins … d’E Reynaud!!! Le tout courronné d’une énergie incroyable (20€ la quille!). Certes en bouche, il a cette petite rusticité fine et fraiche des vins jurassiens, et après ? C’est frais, gouleyant, intense…
Bref, une petite surprise qui donne tout son sens à la mode des vins du Jura, à leur esprit très vivant, plein de relief et de fraîcheur, à leurs terroirs salivants. (590 views)
 Tasted by Raage on 1/20/2020 & rated 89 points: Qq mois de plus depuis la précédente, et le vin, bien que toujours marqué par une vinif' naturelle et peu de SO2, a gagné en fruit: profil léger et minéral, épicé et fruité, bien jurassien, vraiment digeste (la bouteille y est passée); aux dires du vigneron en novembre, 2017 était compliqué (plus que les 18 chatoyants et particulièrement avenants), et cela se sent bien. Toutefois, les défauts aromatiques s'estompent, mais bien sûr, en la circonstance, c'est une question de curseur personnel: la sensibilité à la volatile ou au petit goôt de souris est question de sensibilité...

 Tasted by Raage on 9/23/2019 & rated 89 points: Une teinte si claire, ça ne peut etre qu’un Poulsard, presque orangée; nez fin très vivant (pas hyper net avouons-le: vol' ? légère souris) sur la mara des bois, la cerise, le kirsch, la pivoine, les épices dans un registre pur et frais, assez ennivrant; en bouche il est souple, acidulé, sans rusticité, mûr et digeste; il devient griotté, rose fanée, avec une pointe de vol’ et de chaleur. Le style m’évoque un bon vin nature (<30mmg/l) parfumé qui devra se faire un peu en bouteille. (367 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.
