  Medium yellow color. Aromas of lemon curd, green apples, honeysuckle, sea breeze, white tea. On the palate this is precise and crisp but plenty of textural depth. Lemon curd, green and yellow apples, laced with sea salt, minerals, chalk, some honeyed white tea. Delicious, complex, nuanced, age-worthy.

  La bombe. Salty, creamy, green apple-y, lemon curd-y, pretty much everything there is to love about Jura chardonnay.

  Un Cote du Jura qui est plus sur l'acidité et la minéralité que l'oxydatif, ce qui le rend peut-être plus grand public.
  On garde quand même un côté peau d'amande tendre, pomme jaune, un certain gras, banane verte, piment de la jamaique. Minéralité moyenne.
  C'est intéressant, assez fin, discrètement rancio ce qui le rend peut-être plus accessible.
  Reste de la gamme récemment arrivées sur les tablettes à tenter.

  This is my first ever Jura wine. It should be interesting to see what other terroirs can produce for the ubiquitous Chardonnay grape. This juice pours a medium golden color with very thick long legs. On the nose, the wine yields plenty of bananas, honeycomb, lemon curd, ocean air, apple pie, baking spice and just the hint of oak. On the palate, the wine is surprisingly viscous. That said, the wine is by no means cloying because of the piercing acidity and the raspy streak of minerals, both of which almost instantaneously hit after the generous body subsides. Creamy yet precise in texture, the palate yields plenty of lemon zest, saltwater, wet stones, honeysuckle and spice. The finish is equally salty with a zesty zing towards the end as well. There even is a wisp of smoke as the wine subsides. This is an interesting wine as it combines the opulence of a Meursault with the angularity of a Chablis. Very enjoyable, and drinking well now.

  Double-blind Tasting (Weygandt Wines - Washington, D.C.): Medium yellow color. Aromas: lemon curd, honeycomb, sea breeze, green apples. Palate: Precise acidity, creamy texture, lemon curd and sea breeze with salty, lip-smacking acidity. Gorgeous wine, so young, but incredible intensity and deliciousness. Several tasters went Chablis, but I was impressed that a few nailed it as Jura Chardonnay.
  Guess: 2013 Chablis Bougros
