February 7, 2015 - Lovely vin jaune, frankly oxidative as it should be, with some similarity to dry sherry but richer and juicier with lively acidity, minerals, notes of nuts, varnish and wax and excellent length and refinement. IMO this is a great wine type and I would drink it more often if food pairing were not so difficult. Firm free range chicken served with a cream and (lesser) vin jaune sauce together with morels was ideal. Very good.
