| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.9 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by glou.sf on 8/6/2022 & rated 95 points: Tasted alongside the 2007 Ganevat Vignes de Mon Pere. What a contrast. The Overnoy is all about delicacy and nuance. Very pretty nose with lemon, minerals, and an interesting flinty quality. The palate is perfectly balanced and shows a bit more depth and complexity than the nose. More lemon, lime zest, green apple, and mineral notes follow. Very long finish. A fantastic wine that's all about the interplay of flavors. Not nearly as powerful as the Ganevat, but has enough weight on the palate. This will continue to evolve and probably improve for years to come. (964 views) | | | Tasted by soyhead on 10/20/2021: described to me as "the ultimate hipster unicorn". No sulfur added. Originally sold for 8€ per bottle, but today good luck...
lively, tart, lemon-lime, as pointed out to me it has big finish and the flavor gets stronger after you swallow. full of energy per JH. I get a kind of custard flavor and curiously not seeing the hype though one day I may come to rue those words. (1200 views) | | | Tasted by Tony Ling on 6/16/2018 & rated 93 points: Giacosa x Overnoy; 6/16/2018-6/17/2018: PNP into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Leaf”): Medium golden to the eyes.
A little smoke and fresh tobacco leaves, citrus fruits and dried mandarin peels. Relatively consistent notes with the 2005 and 2012 vintages tasted before.
Acidity is very high from entry to finish in a good way, very good and distinctive fruits. Nice persistent finish.
Blind tasting this, it is either Chenin or Savagnin to me. Very good indeed. 93 points.

Beautiful truffle, pear and minerals on the nose . Drank this alongside a 2009 Gahier Chardonnay and Peter remarked that this was like Chablis & Gahier was like chassagne montrachet. This had focus, tons of energy on the palate and incredible acidity. Great stuff. (4930 views) | | | Tasted by brooklynguy on 7/18/2012: Dinner at Bar Boulud with the Wines of Overnoy/Houillon: Also excellent, but very different from the 2010. Also savory and mineral, but rounder, richer. Perhaps simply a little older, or a difference in vintage character. This is excellent wine, but the raw mineral audacity of the 2010 was a bit more convincing to me. This is the thing about drinking the wines altogether - had I had this on its own, I would have been amazing by IT - instead there is a lot of comparing when there are various bottles open, and certain innate attributes of single wine can get lost. (5687 views) | | | Tasted by sebastienjm on 2/16/2012 & rated 84 points: À l’ouverture le nez est sur la noisette fraîche, le citron, une pointe beurrée avec un peu de croûte de fromage… bouche avec un bon gras mais à l’acidité plus que marquée dans un registre de pomme verte. Le vin ne semble pas très équilibré. Je l'ai suivi pendant plusieurs jours pour voir et je n'ai pas constaté d'améliorations. Acheté 18 euros chez un caviste.
Je n'ai pas reconnu ce vin. Plusieurs raisons possibles : 1) mes goûts évoluent vite, 2) variation de bouteille à bouteille (le domaine fait plusieurs mises il me semble), 3) les conditions de dégustation au Grapiot étaient parfaites... nous étions heureux d'être pour la première fois dans le Jura... et puis après 5 heures de route j'avais soiiiif!
PS : nous étions deux à l'avoir goûté il y a 8 mois, et nous étions deux à le re-goûter... Donc je ne suis pas le seul a avoir été déçu
13/20 (3840 views) | | | Tasted by sebastienjm on 1/6/2012 & rated 93 points: Le Chardonnay 2008 du domaine Pierre Overnoy (ouillé) bu cet été m'avait paru au premier abord totalement incompréhensible. C'était juste un jus acidulé, fluide, totalement fermé aussi bien au nez qu'en bouche. Déception. 1h30 de carafe et le vin commençait à s'exprimer.. Jamais je n'avais vu un vin évoluer autant à l'aération. C'était d'une géniale finesse et le tout s'ouvrait petit à petit sur de délicats arômes noisettés d'une grande précision... suivi d'un vrai feu d'artifice de saveurs. 17.5/20 (3418 views) | | | Tasted by bg2167 on 9/11/2011 & rated 93 points: Wine was decanted. Nose smelled of geraniums, lemons, minerals. Palate was perfectly balanced with great acidity and a lush structure. Incredibly complex and brilliant wine. (1947 views) | | | Tasted by jwwinec on 8/5/2011: This starts right off with a serious line of acid, but quickly buffers it with that deep, rich, soulful, almost round Overnoy goodness. Lots of finesse. Extremely delicious. (1998 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 5/31/2011: Jura - Savoie Tasting (Quay Restaurant, International Passenger Terminal, Sydney): Colour: Lemon green, medium intensity, clear
Nose: Volatile acidity, kernal, orchard, slight stone/slate. Some cream
Mouth: Medium acid, spice, apple, medium finish. Bit dull. (2221 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 5/4/2011 & rated 92 points: A Night of Jura Wines (Polena - Washington, DC): as a huge fan of chardonnay in all its expressions, i absolutely loved this wine. it really demands attention. from the moment it hits the glass, i knew i was in for something different. the wine was cloudy (clearly unfiltered, possibly unfined?) like tea with honey. the nose is a medley of lemon peel, honey, and what i describe as a hawaiin bun aroma, meaning a fluffy, sweet, baked bread aroma. absolutely gorgeous nose. the tasting group described the palate as "clean and tight," and i agree. but it has tremendous richness, showing honeycomb, hazelnut, lemon peel and dried apricot. underneath it all is a briny aspect, like pickles and garlic salt. all of these elements are in impeccable balance. the finish is long and intense. what a crazy, amazing wine.

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.
