Pretty. Expressive. Fresh. Slightly bitter back palate that I didnt love. (1034 views) | | | Tasted by PacoHigon on 10/27/2019: Color dorado. Nariz intensa, compleja, con notas que recuerdan al velo flor, fruto secos, fruta con hueso madura, corteza de lima, matices minerales. En boca tiene buen ataque, pasa fluido pero con sensación de materia, seco, fresco, con buenos amargos, estructura media y notable longitud. Muy bueno... (1136 views) | | | Tasted by Deux Chevaux on 7/1/2018: As a lover of distinctive oxidative / sous voile savagnin it pains me to write this note, but that makes us even, because for most of its 14 days with us it was a pain to drink. This fellow was downright nasty for 13 days: bitter, with a dirty smell and taste of old tires. Toyo, I think. Funk — which generally we find enjoyable and contributes to complexity in moderation — here fails to overcome the negatives. Multiple days left corked in the fridge mellowed it only marginally. On the 14th and final day it was more enjoyable, but at that point we were worn down and looking for something good to say about it. PS: If I recall, our last bottle of the 2007 version of this same wine has similar, but thankfully for us, subdued negative characteristics. I’m glad to see other recent positive reviews. Maybe, or at least hopefully (for those with more), this particular 2011 bottle was off. (1616 views) | | | Tasted by Fractalage on 4/2/2018 & rated 97 points: White wine doesn't get much better than this. It's as complex as a red with bouquet that broods deeply with pungent earth and soars high with sharp gooseberry, lemon merengue, key lime, dust of Brett, plastic, straw bed of calf, lemon rind and cave musk.
It's perfect from mid palate to finish with sharp Brett spice, gooseberry, under ripe black fruit with ripe lemon. It grips the tongue with more sips and builds with denser character and texture.
Pairing with food might be a waste but interesting to try. Fish wasn't that great, but fatty soft cheese worked well. My next bottle I'll try with smoked salmon, onions and humbolt fog. I think it would compliment raw salmon, but I preferred it just by itself.
This was a joy to sip over 6 hours. Needs to be warm at 65 not fridge cold.
Could hardly get myself to leave a glass for overnight.
9.5/10
12 hours later from glass left out overnight there was no detectable change. This real wine was outstanding. It should keep in bottle for decades. (1536 views) | | | Tasted by Motz on 11/12/2017 & rated 91 points: Bourdy Tasting - Wine 7:
Intense bouquet of fresh picked caju fruit, including the typical dirty sock element. The mouthfeel featured a unique steeliness. This stood out in very good ways. 90-91. (1752 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.
