    France, Jura, Crémant du Jura

    This Cuvee was the Indigene which was was terrific. Nutty leesy flavors with red apple, limestone and lemon...it's got bracing acidity, but is fairly rich in a slightly oxidative style..held up well on day 2.

    Traci opened this to accompany a pork tenderloin with red currant sauce...I thought a Zin would be better and I was probably right - first time for everything! Tasted over 3 days. Dark cherries, earthy, mushroom compote, a little spice and underbrush. It's a very nice Pinot Noir that is rich but light on its feet with enough stuffing to drink on its own but with enough structure to enjoy with food. By day 3, it was a little oxidized but still the earthiness came through..excellent.
