(1205 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 12/28/2009 flawed bottle: DOA (1451 views) | | | Tasted by AndrewSGHall on 2/8/2007: Yum. Delicious combo of key-lime citrus and mineral intensity, all modulated to a restrained level. Nice balance, good intensity and perfect with barramundi en papillote w/ olives, chorizo, blood orange and endive. (1884 views) | | | Tasted by gbauer on 10/22/2006 & rated 90 points: Citrus, yeast and minerals on the nose. And all of these flavors, again, stronger on the palate. Especially fine, crushed stone, mineral finish. (1944 views) | | | Tasted by speedmac on 4/22/2005: This is just too serious of a wine for $12, it is almost not ready to drink. The '01 is a completely different wine than the '00 we drank last year as house white. This wine is made for aging as Andrew said. With food it rounds out and complemented the pork loin with jezebel sauce and corn casserole with green chiles. Lots of personality in the bottle- good clean fruit, mineral and acid balance and a pleasing finish. (2605 views) | | | Tasted by AndrewSGHall on 2/21/2003: Like Jeffords mentioned, lime-attack. Young and tart, great fruit backbone with intense lime citrus. Slightly oaky feel, but good finish with stone-granite notes. Good all around, get some more to age.

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.
