the nose gives whisps of white smoke carrying delicate white florals, while the palate is driven by bracing, electric, jaw-rattling acid, a vibrant burst of grilled lemon, with its oils seeping out its skin, ephemeral notes of roasted hazelnuts, long finish pulls the palate down into a deep, limestone quarry
exciting and full of personality, though certainly still tightly wound, would be curious to see this with more age

Clear light straw colour. Citrus, lemons, sulphur, struck matchstick on the nose. Palate had a complementary acidic tone to it, lime with salinity and minerality palpable. Enjoyable and unique wine, I think it's a good example of the terroir.

Exceptional QPR. This is drinking terroir. Initially fresh lemon nose with struck match. Reductive. Then with warming more mellow dried sour plum notes. Sherry like characteristic. Honeyed and nutty. Went very well with Comte cheese. Worth seeking out.

13.5%. Bio and natural. Pale gold, distinctively gun-flint like smokiness, salty minerals, savoury citrus fruits, quince and honey, grilled nuts, quite chalky too!
Piercing acidity with good definition. So energetic and pure. Excellent.

Le nez est puissant sur de citron, de la fleur blanche et de chèvrefeuille et des accents salins. En bouche c’est très tranchant sur des notes vives de citron. finale assez minéral. Manque de matière en bouche pour supposer une longue garde. Attendre un peu pour voir si il se bonifie.
Le lendemain semble très réduit… peu plaisant.

A wine that delivers a lot for it's value. The nose is beautiful, textbook chardo Jura to me. The mouth is promising but still lots of acid present. In a few years from now it'll steal the show.

As the previous bottle was oxidised I thought I better open this when I remembered I had another Patchwork again Oxidised, incredibly sour, etc... luckily TWS refund

Wow- it’s rich, heady and energetic, it’s precise and steely, it’s chewy and chalky, it’s zingy and looooong. Complex, layered, individual, gastronomic and delicious. Give me more.

This is always one of the best Chardonnay buys in the world, vintage in, vintage out. And once again it delivers in spades. So delicious, fresh, complex and long for a $35 Chardonnay. Tissot is one of the masters of this divisive grape.

Fascinating nose with complexity -- yeast and apples/ malic acid. Good length, intensely acidic. I was a big fan but this wine split the group, wine some people finding it too far down the "Natural" path (a bit weird for them). I'm a fan and think this will age will for 5-10 years.

Straw. Yellow apples and wood on the nose. Recognisable Jura smell. Rich and fresh acidity. Long aftertaste. Good value. Widely food friendly. Enjoyed with Comte.

UWS; A mixed set of wines (@ JB): Beautiful and complex bouquet with toast and oak. On the palate fireworks, a lot of citrus, a lot of oak, chalky minerals. Overall a beautiful still youthful wine.

No notes but typical Jura of the best kind, perfect with mushroom soup and charcuterie sandwich.

Déçu par ce millésime. Semble manquer de matière, l’acidité ressort beaucoup. Les arômes sont toujours beaux mais en retrait. Du temps ?
