September 11, 2013 - Jura, Puligny Montrachet and Champagne; 9/8/2013-9/20/2013: From 75cl, P+P in a restaurant. I really wanted to enjoy this (being on holiday, knowing it was being served at a 320% markup and trying not to care...) but alas, this is like drinking an even sharper version of the unpleasantly sour Frankfurt speciality non-sparkling and unsweetened cider called "Äppelwoi" (not a recommendation). Wood, acid, sour grape juice, more acid: burn stomach, burn! Pure Savagnin may be the basis for great Vin Jaune, but there is a good reason why the better winemakers in the Jura blend it with Chardonnay in table wine. 14% alc. Pass the Alka-Seltzer, please. (82-)83P
