An exquisite bottle of wine. This is so perfumed, but with a dairy-inflected character of cream and even a touch of butterscotch. Wide aromatic breadth, with lots of citrusy, saline and cereal notes, and an open-knit complexity. Totally enveloping in its sumptuous clarity. True to Jura character while refined as can be.

Impossible de retrouver le terroir du jura, c'est très bourguignon et vraiment délicieux! On peut penser à un beau blanc de la côte châlonnaise. — 7 years ago

Very interesting to taste the grape in non oxidative style. Kind of whimsical fruit, orange and lemon meringue, with a pretty gage plum sweet-tartness on the palate. Echo of the relation to gewurtzteaminer, principally in some emerging subtle floral perfumes. Great long acid, and dark mineral finish. Also reminiscent of good white Rhone but the tension is from acid, not minerals. — 2 years ago

Slightly reductive, but w/ overdoing it.
Exotic fruit, a hint of matchstick reduction, a fresh herby note and an undertone of stony minerality.
Very classical Burgundian mouthfeel. Ripe yellow fruit, juicy acidity, herby freshness, just a tiny hint of wood roundness.
Great precision and depth, and brilliant drinkability!
This is really elegant and complex. And so drinkable! — 3 years ago
