 Tasted by ocassiuso on 7/20/2022: bottle 1544g. Aromas of elevated intensity including citrus, wild berries, twizzler. Dry, with a fine, prickly mousse, elevated acidity, small red berries. Finishes a little thin, but pleasant. 12.5° (323 views)

 Tasted by AlphaMikeFoxtrot on 6/24/2018 & rated 84 points: 100% Chardonnay. Fresh crisp apples and pears, a little bit of stone fruit. No real yeast charactereven though it's traditional method. (373 views)
 Tasted by maxima on 5/20/2018 & rated 86 points: Simple, fruité et léger, pas complexe mais charmeur, correct. (855 views)
 Tasted by Mike Kopanski on 3/17/2017 & rated 88 points: Just a splendid representation of the Pinot grape grown in a basic off the beaten path area. Brilliant idea to make a sparkling rose. Needless to say this is really different. The unique terroir, combined with the minimal skin contact of a rose, with the early picked, vibrant freshness typical of a French sparkler, result in a refreshing, tasty thirst quencher. The base wine has a very youthful freshness. Mount Morency cherry in dry, crisp Pinot richness and the frisky little bubbles on the finish. (755 views)
 Tasted by fitzi on 7/3/2016: Opened for an early start to the 4th weekend. This wine is a find: pupillon-based rosé fizz. Weightless, moussey bubbles with a mild yeasty-toasty halo. Not the depth or complexity of a fine sparkling wine from regions to the northwest, but just a third to fourth of the cost, eminently drinkable. On a par with, say, Tissot's cremant, which is high praise. (736 views)

 Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 1/30/2016 & rated 87 points: Jura Tasting (Weygandt Wines - Washington, D.C.): Zesty aromas of roses, baby's breath and strawberries. Crisp and spicy on the palate, full of strawberries and white peach, accented by notes of white tea and spice. Very good for under $20. (1000 views)
 Tasted by Millennial Drinkers on 1/30/2016 & rated 88 points: New Jura Arrivals Tasting (Weygandt Wines): Love the nose, orangey pink, and bright clear. A ton of rose water and strawberries. Slight grey tea on the palate. Slightly mineral at the end. Strong acidic finish (1078 views)

Pinot Noir

Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.


Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.

Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.

The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.

Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.

In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.

With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.

Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.

Jura

A 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.
