NR bc I just don't understand Jura's vins jaunes. Chalon is supposedly the star of the vin jaune show and, for me, this wine tastes like a 1999 southern Mâcon that's been in your garage since release. Vins jaunes are often compared to Sherry but, to me, the wine tastes so much more bitter and oxidized. Maybe someday I will have a grasp on this appellation. MPD at Bisato.

Everything one can expect from a great Château-Chalon (classy oxydative notes, power, length, refinement), surprisingly expressive for a wine that young. Excellent.
Tout ce qu'on attend d'un grand Château-Chalon, de magnifiques notes oxydatives, de la puissance, de la longueur, tout ça avec raffinement. Très expressif pour un Château-Chalon aussi jeune, c'est une bonne surprise qu'il s'exprime déjà aussi bien, ça promet ! Excellent.

M&PD Tasting: Bisato (Seattle, WA, USA): I just couldn't wrap my head around the funky oxidation, tough stuff.
