  Our first bottle of this wine, I think Pifcho's description fits my experience almost perfectly. That noted, I prefer savagnin to express certain flavors and savory aspects which were weak in this wine. So an undeniably excellent wine, somewhat untypical of Jura and significantly chardonnay-esque. Enjoyed with smoke chicken breast dinner.

  Electric, zippy, great acids with solid Meyer lemon and other yellow and green citrus flavors. Really good wine!

  The most exciting bottle of wine, I have had in a while. I have consistently loved Labet's wines, but this is the best one to date. Labet seems to bring a very Burgundian perspective to Jura as the wines are nowhere nearly as oxidative as the classic expamples from the region. To me this was like an amped up Chablis. Great nose of white flowers and citrus. Beautiful bright lemon color. This has the weight of a grand cru burgundy on the palate. Starts very round and white fruited, but then there is an explosion of mineral, lime and grapefruit flavors mid-palate, which carry into a very long vibrant finish. Brilliant energy, depth and precision. I found it almost impossible to put the glass down. 96+
