(CDV) Pas bu dans les meilleures conditions (passait après 2 grands Jura), mais brièvement: Fin et puissant, bien minéral, aromatique assez discrète, mais -étrangement - j’ai toujours avec ce vin une sensation de céphalée assez rapide. Je retrouve cependant la belle énergie de cette cuvée que j’apprécie avec qq années, révélant son terroir et sa tension saline.

Nose not very expressive at first. Then opens up on hay. Wine is long with depth without any flaws. Taste of hay and grapefruit. No particular evolution through the dinner. Ready to drink now.

This was declared "off" by some in the room, but I think they were just bothered by the VA, which was fine by me. It continued to open up in the glass, and my third pour was best for me. I would say it's in need of a few more years to come together. I would decant it for a few hours if I encountered it again anytime soon.

Gorgeous! Aromas of Apple, mountain herbs and stone. Kind of an apple/grapefruit fruit expression in the mouth with hints of mountain herbs, lots of minerality and a long finish. Beautiful wine!

Gold-bronze in the glass, with crisp apple fruit on the nose.
I often use this descriptive with wines from the Jura by Tissot, but this is very savory on the palate. Nice persistence, good acidity - this is really very good, and a wine that I need to start thinking about buying more of.

Deeper yellow/bronze-colored in the glass; nose is somewhat neutral at this point.
Full-bodied for a white, with adequate acidity and good persistence. Much like Tissot's wines from the Jura, I enjoy Belluard's whites because they make me think about the wine - not the kind of wine you gulp, but instead savor.

Pure and intense, aromatic nose with ripe apple, flowers, earthy tones of honey, waxy texture, high acidity to match. Absolutely beautiful

Very pleasant easy soft wine. Beautiful perfume, but some light acid on the finish. Great sipping or food wine.

What a wild wine. Tastes like Roussanne meets Chablis. Golden delicious apple, poached pear, candlewax, jasmine. Delicious!

Crusty, oxidised, mineral aroma. Great energy on the palate with deep penetrating saline fruit, electric acids, and an everlasting finish.

Dominated by stone dust with a touch of apple and a hint of oxidization.

Light gold; nose is vaguely pleasant, but otherwise unremarkable.
Tart & savory on the palate, with a quinine-like note on the finish. More interesting than delicious, but a wine I am glad to drink/own.
