Yes, it's recognizable as chardonnay, and yes, you can taste a connection to Burgundy, but because this is Jura there's always a curveball, and here it almost tastes like a bit of red-fruit spritz, like the faint red fruit of a blanc de noirs champagne; hard to put your finger on it, but isn't that why we drink Jura wines?; not overly oxidative or nutty, tastes clean and fresh

Some reduction at first; tasting note below about earl grey tea is right on, because this wine is like citrus filtered through tea leaves; texture suggests skin contact, but this is not an orange wine; like no other muller-thurgau (or, for that matter, any German white) that I've had

Youthful riesling fruit, pure and elegant on nose, a bit watery mid-palate; pleasant, integrated acidity, not screechy; the kind of riesling that's equally enjoyable with or without food, just lacking some concentration
