| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.4 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by octopussy on 5/1/2018 & rated 91 points: Light yellow color. Young, fresh and very clear and precise nose, slightly spicy, curry and Kurkuma, slightly earthy. In the mouth, it has laser like acidity, but enough structure to integrate the acidity, overall rather light though, tight, detailed finish. Excellent and well aged. (836 views) | | | Tasted by aekenback on 7/12/2016 & rated 90 points: Consistent with previous notes. (1021 views) | | | Tasted by aekenback on 12/29/2015 & rated 90 points: Solid as usual. This is consistenly better, and with more complexity, than Ammonites from the same producer. (1083 views) | | | Tasted by aekenback on 3/13/2015 & rated 90 points: Combination of fresh minerals and cirtus with loads of honey. Nice mouthfeel and good balance with high acidity. Buronfosse delivers once again. (1298 views) | | | Tasted by JohanPe on 1/17/2015 & rated 87 points: Pears, green apples, lemon and lime. Soft and easy, not aggressive in any way. On the palate there’s yellow crisp apples and a finish with limejuice. Medium acidity and a short afterrtaste. Not complex but very drinkable. (1341 views) | | | Tasted by Ben H. on 12/6/2014: This kept on getting better and better over the days it was open, improving aromatically and in texture. Very saline on day one, more of a balancing act between salinity and butteriness on day two, and by day three those two qualities were in perfect accord, when the wine had a lovely apple blossom scent and silken texture. (1018 views) | | | Tasted by gwkozar on 11/22/2014 & rated 88 points: from memory. Lemon but on the softer side, stony acidity, medium body, a softer less intense Chablis. good value. (723 views) | | | Tasted by octopussy on 1/15/2014 & rated 90 points: Light yellow. Pear and herbs (tarragon mostly) in the nose, some saffran. Quite linear. Chalky acidity in the mouth, great brightness, very direct, medium body, salty in the finish. Very well done. (984 views) |

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.
