| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by eboracum on 1/2/2021 & rated 91 points: I always find it difficult to pair vin jaune, so I was intrigued to read a suggestion in Guide Hachette that it works well with lobster à l'Armoricaine (cayenne pepper in the sauce). Made from Savagnin and aged oxidatively under voile (AKA flor in Spain), it has definite fino sherry notes but with more fragrance, amplitude and backbone and indeed it stood up well with the sauce and even to Stilton chesse. I have enough left to test a claim of a French winelovers' site that it can benefit from being several days open and served at room temperature. Very good.

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comJuraA petite and relatively obscure wine region in eastern France, between Burgundy and the Swiss border. Its geographical isolation has helped it to remain a rare bastion of traditional winemaking techniques, and today it produces some of the most distinctive wines in the world. Reds from the Jura are often light-bodied, earthy, berried, and reminiscent of the village wines of Burgundy (though here they are made of local grapes like Poulsard and Trousseau). While Chardonnay features widely, the true specialty of the region is the Vin Jaune (“yellow wine”) made from the white Savagnin grape. Cloudy, difficult Vin Jaune is made only in the best vintages, and must be aged for at least six years before being released. As it ages under a layer of yeast, known locally as “voile,” the wine slowly oxidizes, leading to complex aromas and flavors that range from walnut skin to sultana to spices and truffles. Famously long lived it is always sold in dumpy 62 cl bottle - the wine lost in production having been taken by les anges.
On weinlagen-infoChâteau-ChalonChateau-Chalon deserves it's old name of "vin de garde" or keeping wine, because it will keep happily for many decades, and with certain vintages, over a century. The best temperature to serve this wine is 14 centigrade, and it is advisable to let the wine breathe for several hours prior to drinking, as this allows the wine to develop its subtle aromas of walnuts, hazelnuts, wheat, tobacco and sometimes, of curry. It is the ideal accompaniment to Lobster Americaine, poultry with creamy sauces, with morel mushrooms, with haddock, with curried dishes and above all with Comte cheese. Some people recommend it with bitter chocolate. It is true that a great wine is not usually spoken of as a wine with which to cook, but it's enthusiasts confirm that it is worth sacrificing a small amount from the bottle to improve a sauce and this instantaneously transforms the cook into a "grand chef"! |
