With fried crab cakes and a salad with olive oil and lemon juice, this wine was just the ticket. Bright and refreshing with rocky, salty minerals. Showing well.

Lemons and stony, salt-tinged minerals. Tangy and deep, this is a compelling chardonnay as long as you don't crave oak spice, cream or tropical fruit. High marks for this.

Pale hazy straw yellow. Lemon custard, lemon zest, green melon, orange peel, plastic/rubber. Oily fatness in texture, med+ acidity, cuts through quite nicely, tart. Utterly interesting wine, cant believe this is chard. Funky, not much fruit or sweetness, dry and tart, acid cuts through the fat, i dig this on its own.

Pale lemon colour. The nose shows medium intensity somewhat dirty scents of cider, untanned leather, lemon peel, fennel, fresh apricots and cedar.
The wine is dry in the mouth with a high zesty acidity. It has a medium alcohol strength and a medium body. It has medium intensity flavours and a medium+ finish.
It is a good quality wine. The finish is persistent and it has some fruit concentration in balance with the alcohol. However the acidity is unbalanced, and the nose is in that limit where a fault may be considered to be adding complexity.

I can only confirm Soyhead's review below in every way
Worked reasonably well with a light, no added fat, multi-course tasting menu but would never drink by itself
Wine is billed as low sulphur - but there's some reduction on the palate possibly due to the ouille (i.e., non oxidative style of winemaking that's counter to what's typical for the Jura) style of winemaking?

Nose - oil of lemon rind
Mouth - very tart, refreshing/electric, on its own unbalanced but fit for food. Shocking to me that this could be Chardonnay.
