Has taken on a much more rounded, meursault-like character although unlike meursault not very oaky. Delicious and even better than previous bottle. Would have been nice to have even more bottles of this but sadly I don't.

The development of this Chardonnay is just stunning - two years have made a big difference. Wide open on the nose, with pronounced lemon-curd aromas. Intensely flavoured, with creamy texture and brilliant limestone acidity. So rewarding it's hard to grasp we're at the entry level. The style and quality rival an outstanding village Meursault.

A nice surprise on a random selection from a friend. Almost a perfect cross of Bourgogne and Rioja blanc. Hazelnuts, mineral, honeycomb and honeysuckle, fresh scraped vanilla bean, seabed/foam, a hint of oxidation as a condiment and plenty of citrus. Great value.

Lemon curd, pineapple with almonds and sea salt (didn't seem oxidized though). Nice acidity on the medium+ finish. A hint of flint. Decanted 40min which helped some initial funk blow off.

Souper de Noël Raclette suisse avec Seb. À l'aveugle. Nectar doré brillant, sur le petit pain grillé mais bien dosé, épices douces, fleurs blanches. Bouche un peu mielleuse, pêche, pomme jaune, rancio discret. Longueur satisfaisante. Un beau Cotes du Jura pour ceux qui ne sont pas fan de la région habituellement. ***1/2

Un vin que j'encave à chaque millésime. Celui-ci me semble un brin moins satisfaisant. Une acidité un peu haute avec le fruit un peu en retrait avec du miel, de la pomme et un peu de pêche. Finale courte. 84-85 sur 100.

Encore un grand succès dans ce millesime. On le prendrait pour un Chablis premier cru à l'aveugle. Belle intensité, vif, sur la fraîcheur et peut-être un brin moins complet que le 2012 mais dans la même lignée.

Well-balanced, mineral and with good acidity and oxidative hints. Fully agree with Finare Vinare and Bajayngo's notes.

Toujours impeccable. Classique chardo ouillé jurassien, sans profondeur particulière mais à bon prix.

A mini-Meursault with some Jura spices on top. Perfect companion for lunch on a warm summer day.

Great stuff, high in acid and rich in Jura character with grassy lemon and red apples.

Doft av våt sten, citrus, gräs och mineral.
Frisk och mineralstinn smak av citrus, mineral, grus och äpple, hög syra. Frisk och fräsch. Klunkvänlig.
