Popped and poured. Rich aroma of sea water and orange peel. Luscious, complex, oxidative flavors dominated by orange and pear up front, tart pineapple mid palate. Lichee dominates the rich finish. Lively, beautifully integrated, firm backbone, in its prime.

I liked this, but Puffeney is so famous and I really like Arbois, so I expected to really really like it. Annoying chippy wax to get to the cork, very nice chardonnay but also quite a bit of new French oak influence. Very Good.

Rich, intense and ripe orchard fruit aromas and flavors. Moderate degree of the oxidative character common in Jura whites, certainly not extreme but clearly front and center. Lots of structure makes me think this very age worthy. I'm hoping to try more Jura whites in the near future, both Chardonnay and Savagnin.

Oxidative, orangey aromatics. Quite full, nice balance of fruit and acidity. Linger it does.

Lovely blend of lemon and marzipan with sparkling acidity and minerality. Balanced, beautiful, and wonderful QPR.
