Introduction
I always enjoy tasting the Jura selections from Peter Weygandt. Really interesting and individualistic choices, and reasonable prices. This was a good bunch of choices.

Lots of spice and nutty elements on the nose. Creamy, spiced apple on the palate but so zesty. Flavors of toasted bread crumbs over oyster shells. Lots of fun, unique flavors.

Zesty aromas of roses, baby's breath and strawberries. Crisp and spicy on the palate, full of strawberries and white peach, accented by notes of white tea and spice. Very good for under $20.

This is getting better and better with age. Lots of minerals and stones with some salted almond accents to the melon and orange fruit. I'm impressed by the depth and complexity this is gaining but it's still so fresh and vibrant.

2014 Domaine Didier Grappe Chardonnay Côtes du Jura Novelin 87 Points
France, Jura, Côtes du Jura
So bright and clean, with flowers, sea spray and clean laundry on the nose. Creamy palate but so tangy and salty with a brightness that tingles onto the finish.

Non-oxidized style, this is a fresh, bright and salty wine with a lovely creaminess as well. Zesty but nervy, tons of mineral complexity, along with notes of honeycomb and white tea. Lovely stuff.

2013 Caveau de Bacchus Melon à Queue Rouge Arbois Cuvée des Docteurs 90 Points
France, Jura, Arbois
Smells peachy and clean wit orange rind and lime juice. Rich but crunchy and salty on the palate. Lime and orange peels mixed with crunchy sea salt and hints of white pepper. Bright, long finish. Really interesting stuff – I’d love to cellar some for a few years and see what comes out.

I love the fresh aromatics of Trousseau, and this one is so perfume: black tea, roses, spiced red berry compote. Crisp and juicy on the palate with red cherries and red apple peel. Clean and soft tannins with fresh acid. Salty and spicy on the finish. So good for the money.

2011 Domaine de la Pinte Pinot Noir Arbois 90 Points
France, Jura, Arbois
Fresh, vibrant and floral aromatics, fresh raspberries and cherries. Silky but structured with fine, dusty tannins and, of course, bright, refreshing acid. Tart cherries and wild strawberries mix with black tea, bay leaf and pepper. Vibrant and open now but I’m interested to see what develops in the next two to four years.

Very interesting aromatics here: wild cherries, red apple, grapefruit, and a host of spice and nut elements. Great acid, fine tannins, the crunchy red berries are laced with spices and herbs. That acidity is rocking and this wine is pure and vibrant. Trousseau, Ploussard and Pinot blend.
