August 3, 2020 - I dropped by my local yesterday afternoon and while I was there, I was offered a glass of something that was brought by another client. It turns out, a very generous one. The Jura is a very unique region and I have to admit that I rarely drink the wines but they are always something different and I love and respect that. This wine was a dark golden color that made me think this was a “Vin Jaune” which is the most famous wine of the region. It certainly smelled like it! We’re talking candied roasted nuts (you know the kind that you smell near mall food courts) with apricot, orange marmalade and exotic spices. Obviously made in a super oxidative style. Yet, this was labeled as Cote de Jura so technically I believe this is a “Vin Typés“ which is similar to “Vin Jaune” just not aged as much. On the palate, this was liquid dried apricots and finished dry and long with super acidity. I was nearly begging for cheese at this point! Fun to try something like this with so much age on it. Makes me wonder if these could last for decades if stored properly.

6/18/2008 (link)(Domaine MACLE Cotes de Jura) Macle is considered the top guy when it comes to Vin Jaune and Chateau Chalon. I have note tasted those but I am dying too as his Cotes de Jura was out of this world. Easily the most elegant Jura wine I have ever had. Typical nose of maderized notes of butter, squash blossoms, peanuts, popcorn, salt, and some slightly very nutty fruit. The palate is extremely elegant with amazing levels of concentration. I have had Batard-Montrachet from great producers that has not been this concentrated. Flavors of citrus, fig, grilled nuts and some spice. Long and perfectly delineated finish that is almost endless. Just an amazing wine. This is mostly Chardonnay and maybe the greatest Jura white I have ever had. 8.78 billion points.
