Really good, balanced, couldn't quite pick up the fruit but it was very drinkable — 3 years ago
Lucky enough to have been invited to pillage the cellar of an old friend and came out of it with a 1975 and 1986 ch Rayne-Vingneau Sauternes. Both wonderful but the 86 was stunning, everything a late harvest wine can and should be. Fresh herbal aromas of tarragon, camphor, menthol and almond oil. Honeyed dried apricots in mid palate with do much more . Clean mineral and mediciinal finish. Very lush and lithe. Truly a standard bearer. — 5 years ago

First time trying this varietal on its own. Was a very new aroma and taste to me. Big amounts of tea on the nose and palate, with a vegetal/mineral character and wet hay. Bright acid and funky cool. — 5 years ago
All the funky, stony and herbal action you’d expect from a Jura Chardo. Candied lemon, appleskin, rockdust, flint, herbaceous/saline and woolly notes, ginger and jasmin. Lovely touches of bitter almond skin in the finish, which is long and dry but refreshing. Full of tension and nervosity. Very very tasty and interesting and - @ 20€ - a fantastic alternative for the high reputation wines of Ganevat, Labet and Tissot (just to mention a few), although there’s probably a tiny step back in complexity. — 2 years ago
Red fruit and currant with baking spice, . Dry with medium tannins, decent acidity and some alcohol heat to back it up. Nice wine from a consistent Rhône producer — 4 years ago
Very finely balanced wine of all 3 Jura red grapes. Soft red fruit with a long lingering taste. Very good! — 5 years ago

A little more reason than we remembered but still interesting in terms of a different blend with some Pinot. Heavier but still Pinot like. Kurt birthday wine — 3 months ago
