  Unlike a previous bottle, in good condition, mature with perhaps tiny oxidiative notes (this is clearly meant to be in a non-oxidative, Burgundian, style). Very rich and powerful, good acidity and focussed, though. A little more heat (it is 14.5%) on the finish than I'd like. More or less the style of today's Labet, but not quite as precise - I think the wines have got significantly better.

  Jura is an underrated region. Red and white. This white wine is very good. Balanced with good complexity and freshness. Try it

  Sempre un piacere confrontarsi con Chardonnay d' annata, ben fatti e genuini come questo. Maturo, miele di acacia e cremino al limone.
  Entra in souplesse, quasi magro, scorrevole. Legno ben dosato e tanto senso di stasi.... poi quando pensi che sia finito tutto, cambia marcia. Dicotomia tra la fase abboccata d' ingresso in cui entra il varietale e fase finale in cui va in scena il terroir. Si fa più teso, dritto e affilato, finalmente arriva l' agrume a promuovere la salivazione e la complessità si amplifica, trasformando uno Chardonnay banalotto in un degno figlio del Jura.
  Belle sfaccettature, beva matura, ma ancora fresca e complessità quasi impossibile da trovare in Borgogna per 15€!
  Ribadisco la mia convinzione che sotto i 30€, Jura batte Borgogna 10 a 0!!
