5/19/2024 - salil wrote: 91 pointsPerfect accompaniment at a raclette dinner. All kinds of savoury, nutty, saline flavours around a core of ripe white fruit. Love this - it’s got the richness and fruit of a good white Burg matched with the savoury salinity/oxidation of a good sherry. No shortage of acidity here either, which makes it a perfect foil for the rich raclette. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

5/18/2024 - Raizes Likes this wine: 88 points柑橘、青苹果、杏干、酱油、米醋和一点烟熏咸玉米的香气。与闻香中占据主调的氧化气息不同，入口果味更加清新充沛，口感均衡，结构坚实、宽广。相对来说，酸度和持续力略显普通。 |

5/4/2024 - Robin & Emma Likes this wine: 95 pointsBreathtaking - aromas of candied orange peel and walnut caramel, earthy pollen and a rusty lick of powdered ginger wrapped around a core of whiskery acidity that kept it feeling extraordinarily fresh. A really beautiful example. |

4/13/2024 - NickA Likes this wine: 91 pointsReally very like a slightly less bone-dry Manzanilla: so yeasty, so salty, so good with Comte. Citrically tongue-tickling, and made for a great change of pace. |

4/5/2024 - RoelD Likes this wine: 93 pointsUnder the management of Nicole Derriaux, this domain was mainly known for its excellent oxidative Sherry-like wines. Under the impetus of the new generation this is their first Savagnin with “Ouillage” and the best one in that style (which is sometimes quite strict and austère) I drank so far. This wine has been vinified (fermentation and aging) in 100% oak barriques for 2 years, with regular refilling to compensate for evaporation. |

3/31/2024 - HeavyPourWine Likes this wine: 90 pointsBlackberry Farm Cheese and Wine tasting (The lovely East Tennessee mountains): Wine and cheese tasting in the cellar @ Blackberry Farm. In oak for three years and not topped off to increase concentration. Gold color. Nose is alcohol (spiked butterscotch?). 88 without cheese, 90 when paired with French cow's milk cheese.

3/31/2024 - roelof.ligtmans@gmail.com Likes this wine: 88 pointsNice Jura chard. Fully ripe now, it is fresh with a bit of filling, nice to go with fish dishes or the like. A faint hint of oxydation on the back-end of the finish places this wine firmly in the Jura tradition. Probably best to drink up in the next year and a half. |

3/31/2024 - Rallerboy888 Likes this wine: 86 pointsCan’t say I agree with the other tasting note. While this is a vin ouillé, it clearly shows that it comes from a cellar where all other whites are made sous voile. There’s plenty of acidity and fruit, but it’s muddled by a bit of fino character, which isn’t really in place. Weird wine but decent enough. |

2018 Domaine de Montbourgeau L'Etoile MontangisChardonnay Blend, Chardonnay more |
3/15/2024 - RoelD Likes this wine: 89 pointsThis wine comes from the oldest plot of the domain planted in 1930 with mainly Chardonnay and only a few vines of Poulsard and Savagnin. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged for a while in large wooden vats, after which it is transferred to classic 228l barriques, which are completely filled but not topped afterwards. This explains the rather modest oxidative character of this wine. |

3/2/2024 - Akatz821 Likes this wine: 91 pointsQuality for the price is through the roof. Of course you have to like an oxidative flor tinged style. but give me the sherry any day, so i love this. For around 25 USD, it really goes above and beyond. |

2/2/2024 - RoelD Likes this wine: 93 pointsI don’t have much to add to my previous note. A fantastic wine for lovers of this oxidative Sherry-like style, bone-dry and almost indestructible. As locals state: this is a wine to be bought by the first generation, to be cellared by the second and to be drunk by the third and subsequent generations. A fantastic match wih old Comté an similar cheeses. |

2020 Domaine de Montbourgeau Poulsard Côtes du Juramore |
1/20/2024 - Adrian Chmielarz wrote: 88 pointsLight, aromatic, fruity, a bit funky -- classic "pulsar". Comes from L’Etoile, but since the appellation is exclusive to white grapes, we get the “Côtes du Jura” classification here. Not my favorite grape but technically well done. |

12/28/2023 - Raizes Likes this wine: 88 points柑橘、苹果，还有芒果、杏的成熟果味，榛子、芝士、烟熏和芳香的白花，当然酱油和一点陈醋的氧化气息也格外明显。入口结构依然坚实严肃，醒酒八小时后果味才在口中弥散开，与氧化味形成均势——闻香的复杂度终于在口中得到了完整呈现，而这种冲撞感、鲜美与氧化的平衡感，让这种等待是值得的。 |

12/8/2023 - mikey.s Likes this wine: 90 pointsFirst vin jaune, a surprise -- and a treat! Deep gold, Sherry, saline, walnuts, mineral, wax, alcohol. Sahara desert dry. Balanced and enjoyable. Was told pairing with Comte was the done thing, this was well recieved advice - complimented each other wonderfully. |

12/15/2023 - RoelD Likes this wine: 93 pointsA very good oxidative wine from this reliable domain in the Jura subappellation L’Etoile. The grapes come from a vineyard complanted with 50% each of Chardonnay and Savagnin. Golden yellow color and the typical bouquet and taste of this type of wine: aldehydes, curry and walnuts wth a long fresh final. Not for everybody, but tasters who like good Fino Sherry wll be enthousiastic with this wine. I totally agree with Tony Ling’s note and this wine is indeed very food friendly. It is already perfectly drinkable and will last for at least 10 years. Purchased directly from the domain at 16,50€ this is a real bargain. |
