Sits beautifully in the glass, with a translucent ruby appearance. Nose and palate just sing. Tangy red fruit, light and ethereal, but anchored by wild cherry and iron notes. Reminds me of a Pelaverga, but bigger, or a high quality village Bourgogne. This wine will continue to positively develop, and I’d expect it to score another point over time. Great QPR but really stands apart regardless.

Interesting to taste this ~6 months later and be so much more positive on it. Aromatically this feel much more wide open. It pours extremely light garnet in the glass, onion skin rim, and faint bricking. The nose is very aromatic and complex showing red currant, sour cherry, mushroomy cellar funk, rose petals, grapefruit rind, old wood spice, and touches of cinnamon and herbal bitters. The palate is super light and elegant entering on citrus tinged red fruit, turning to medium minus dusty tannin and medium plus acid. While there is some mid-palate bitterness, the finish closes harmoniously on grapefruit, red fruit, rose petals and cinnamon. All in all this is lovely stuff that's ridiculously in my wheelhouse and just flat out delicious. Such a classic and for my palate the best since the 2012. This might even be better.

Nice Jura rouge. A trace of reduction on the pop, red fruit, a saline finish with a bit of earth. Gaining more heft and weight over the first few hours esp for a Jura red. Put back in the fridge and held until evening when it was allowed to warm again. Tailing a bit already. I wouldn’t hold too long, but a nice and perhaps a little deeper Jura red with current wine making. Very good qpr

This pours very light ruby in the glass with light bricking at the rim. The nose isn't terribly expressive, but what's there is lovely and complex. Aromas are of dried grapefruit peel, red cherry, fresh white mushroom, sweet old seasoned wood, moss, damp cellar, and dry dusty soil. The palate is light and elegant replaying the citrus and red fruit on entry. Tannin is low and acid is medium plus. This is very light bodied. The finish isn't terribly long but shows pleasant notes of citrus, red fruit, and a touch of chai tea. All in all this is a very nice and typical vintage for Bourdy. Not super expressive aromatically, but that could change with age. It is a lovely profile that is drinking well now, but could easily age for a few years to come.

Translucent in the glass, even with a two hour decant this needs much more time to show off its beautiful notes of wild cherry and iron. Reminds me of a cru Beaujolais but with much more grip. With patience, this will go the distance and will be a fabulous wine.

Super enjoyable burgundy style red on the light bodied and earthy / saline side. One more in the cellar, interesting to see how it develops.

Very light yet sharp. Cherry notes on the nose with hints of white pepper flavors
