 Tasted by wcliao on 11/6/2021: first time taste of this wine type
very strong aroma like PX/紹興
taste fair but good pair with food (170 views)
 Tasted by SteveG on 9/8/2017 & rated 88 points: From memory, maybe almost 8 years is just too long for this very light Jura red, not bad, just weak. (529 views)
 Tasted by SteveG on 7/29/2016 & rated 90 points: Pale tawny red, like a dark rose. Nose of dried flowers, underripe strawberry, light herbs. The palate leans distinctly towards the white, I've tasted Pinot menieur Champagnes which seemed more purely "red", but behind this are tannins and secondary flavors of dirt and old leather. Light and savory, reminds me of Chateau d'Arlay's Corail. Fruitier and fuller day 3. (634 views)
 Tasted by SteveG on 3/9/2015 & rated 89 points: I advanced opening this wine based on the previous tasting, this bottle I double decanted about an hour before pouring, it arrived with more color and distinctly more fruit. Still this is a lean, mineral wine, even for poulsard. While this is nice, their whites are truly excellent. A nice match for taco salad. (827 views)
 Tasted by SteveG on 3/2/2015 & rated 88 points: Tawny ruby to light cola. Modest nose of warm berry pie. The palate is strongly mineral, with some wet red fruit, possibly reduced. The finish is medium, fresher and tarter, but still mostly stone. After an hour and half of air, deeper red and distinct red fruit palate. . (792 views)
 Tasted by amateurwino on 4/11/2011: Tasted but notes not kept; overall, a very solid range of wines. (1808 views)

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.
