I love the Pinot Noir like lightness of this Jura wine! Light-bodied but still complex, it is perfect for those who may like a red wine with a fish or other light dish. Or, for that matter, for those who just like lighter-bodied and lighter-colored red wines in general.

Tasting with Michelle and Bo in Singapore (Pine Close): An unusual red from the Jura, which gave it geek appeal, but in truth - this was drinkable rather than good. The nose was a little off-putting at first, with plenty of sulphur and funk, which took some time and swirling to blow off slightly and reveal bright red fruited strawberry notes, and something rather green and stalky smelling - perhaps lying in the middle of the spectrum between dried leafy vegetables and pu-er tea. The palate had a nice shape and texture to it, with a teeth-coating grip from fine-boned tannins and some lovely juicy acidity framing Gamay-like flavours of strawberries with a tart hit of red wine vinegar, again with some leafy funk in there. Interesting, but not one I would go out and drink again.

Rye on the nose. Not that elegant. But there it is.

The trousseau needs a specific clay which has five to seven syllabols in its name that I didn't catch. Which is why its mainly grown around Arbois.
Smokey and dark,
More compact cluster, more on the spices and cherries, serve with ducks I am being told.
