As previously noted on 05.09.2021, except now there is a wonderful additional honeyed scent. This beautiful bottle had us on the edge of our chairs this evening, paired perfectly with mushrooms in Gruyère cheese sauce (sorry, Comté wasn't available). Radiant, vibrant lemon heaven, like finest Fino sherry made from grapes that actually taste of something, wonderfully concentrated and precise. 92P (395 views) | | | Tasted by Mark van Delft on 6/30/2022 & rated 91 points: Oxidized 😢 (276 views) | | | Tasted by honest bob on 9/5/2021 & rated 90 points: From 75cl, perfect cork, decanted 90 minutes, improved until final drop. This excelent, borderline outstanding sous voile Savignin is unchanged from my TN of 14.09.2021. Gorgeous concentrated ripe lemon, thin, lithe, elegant, penetrating. Just not the multi-layered excitement of Macle's equivalent Côtes du Jura (which to be fair, is a Chardonnay/Savignin blend). 90P (552 views) | | | Tasted by honest bob on 9/14/2020 & rated 90 points: Sauer - Ziereisen - Jura - Champagne; 9/9/2020-9/16/2020 (Escherndorf - Efringen-Kirchen - Arbois - Cramant/Bouzy/Verzenay): From an open 75cl bottle at B&S Tissot tasting room, Arbois. Basically a Vin Jaune "light", bottled after only 32 months sous voile. Light-bodied, super clean, lithe entry without any hint of cellar funk or Jura fustiness. Bright, penetrating lemon juice, long, long long... Beautiful wine, lip-smacking right now, but surely good for at least a decade in the cellar. 90-91P (973 views) | | | Tasted by AlphaMikeFoxtrot on 8/1/2020 & rated 92 points: Oxidative style. Meyer lemons, orange peel, walnuts, hazelnuts. Medium + body. High intensity of flavors and aromas. Beautiful long finish. This wine is great and will age a long while yet. (670 views) | | | Tasted by SuperSomm on 6/12/2020: Medium lemon colour. Medium nose with walnuts, oak, leather, cheese, caramelised apples and lemon peel. Medium taste of caramelised apples, baked pears, toasted walnuts, honey, minerals, sea salt and lemon peel. Long and dry finish. Medium acidity. Medium body. A very good and oxidised Savagnin that drinks well now and is a fresher alternative to Vin Jaune. Goes well with cheeses or cured meat. (52 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.
