Rich yellow-ochre colour. Nose: Initially quite muted, some oxidised apples and limestone. Gradually opening up after airing. The oxidised notes fade away and open up for pure citrus / lemon fruit and more limestone. Taste & palate: Fresh, citrusy fruit. Medium rich but very long and quite intense and mineral taste (the wine is not that "wide" but very "long"). Gives a very different, younger and healthier impression than last tasted in 2010. This is a very good wine! Different but very good and interesting! Also an excellent food wine, worked equally well with salmon sashimi and Serrano ham. This should last for several more years (2017+) (13% alcohol. From +60 year old vines of old, local clones of Chardonnay).

Better than previous bottle, which was oxidized, but although this is alive, I am not convinced. The nose is typical Jura, but the fruit is just there and the aftertaste is not long.

Oxidized. The nose wasn't too bad but the wine was totally flat on the palate. Cheap apple juice and no acidity
