  September 23, 2023 - Medium golden color. Explosive, ripe, but with that signature Jura mineral-coolness. Notes of citrus, yellow fruit, some matchstick too, there is plenty of wet stone and chalk minerality, also some sweet spices, honey and the oak is a touch recognizable at this very early stage, also some white flowers and cammomile. Medium-full bodied, deep and powerful, with a medium-high acidity cutting through the richness. There is also some tannin adding structure and grip. Long finish with plenty of complexity. A superb Jura Chardonnay from this great producer, a little riper than the 2016 I recently had, but nevertheless very beautiful. (93+)
  I might have been a little stingy on my rating, but the 2016 set the bar really high. On day 2 this is showing even better.

  May 31, 2023 - Samples from Bill #5: A touch warmer on the nose here versus the other 2018 Tissot next to it - peach and pear, honey and lemon. Palate doesn't show as much roundness, leaning leaner and more driven with sparkly acidity and a clean finish. Feels like it's a bit in between the style of the other two Tissot Chard in the flight.

  January 29, 2023 - Quite a dark golden color for a 5 year old wine. Complex nose of toasted nuts and sherry. The palate is intense, but the alcohol on the finish is noticeable, and there is a touch of mouse which I dont think I've gotten from tissot before. Based on other notes I wonder if this is an off bottle

  December 28, 2022 - No change from my previous note. A big hit with my wine group. Those that don't care for Chardonnay were blown away by this.

  September 10, 2022 - Outstanding. Tasting notes below me do it better justice. In my opinion, very good QPR.
