Vin jaune encore jeune, même très jeune si l'on considère la catégorie ! L'intensité aromatique est assez puissante mais moins prononcée que sur Château-Chalon dans un millésime aussi récent. Assez facile à boire à ce stade, avec des plats pimentés par exemple, ou bien sûr des samoussas aux légumes avec curry et curcuma.

A Japanese New Year's Day, 2014 (Megumi, Sentosa Golf Club, Singapore): I enjoyed this very much. It had a rancio, almost Fino sherry-like nose, with salted fig skins drifting over a landscape of apple and flower aromas - rather pretty. The palate was where the wine really shone though. There had a really dry, flinty feel to it, with limes and kumquats, orange peel and fig-skin tones pierced with a fresh citrus acidity that lent it a brilliant sense of balance. Lovely with fried tempura. There was plenty of complexity too, with more of those pretty floral notes and a nice lift of spice curling around at the finish. We do not drink all that much Vin Jaune in these parts, but this was very enjoyable indeed.

Great with Poulet and Morilles. Bitter orange, walnut and salt. Slightly oily taste. Highly recommended.
