L'Etoile Chardonnay 2018

Possibly one of my desert island wines ( assuming there is food & a few other wines I can bring…). Jura chard w some Savignin, done in an oxidative, full bodied style. Have come back to this most years & never tires. The color! Amber yellow w orange & sienna tints; on nose my old painting studio with oils, hearts of palm, & orange peel. On palate full & more refined than the nose, with white asparagus, dried mango, & cooked fennel, amongst other flavors. Had post meal, was like a meal unto itself. — 17 days ago

Château Pradeaux

Bandol Mourvedre - Cinsault Rosé Blend 2016

Dark, rich garnet in color. That "noble rot" sauterne smell with lots of savory aromas. Dark fruit and lots of herbs on the palate, with lots of tannins that were pretty smooth and only mildly grippy (after 2.5 hours decanting!). Taking a bottle home to lay down for 6-7 you years, as suggested by sommelier Michael Kwas. Wonderfully paired with lamb ribeye, ratatouille, new potatoes, braised lamb belly, herbs de provence, red wine jus; softened the tannins and brought out the herbs in the wine.

L'Etoile Blanc White Blend 2015

One of my favorite Jura producers. This is classic Jura White. Oxidized Jura at its best. Bruised apple, briny, sherry like, lots of acidity, med tannins. Not to everyone’s taste but definitely mine. This is classic Jura at it’s best. — 7 months ago
