L'etoile, Jura

Emmanuel Houillon (Maison Pierre Overnoy)

Arbois Pupillin Poulsard 2018

Quite light ruby garnet , wide garnet rim . A bit funky at first on the nose , touch farmyardy , then opens up to show some cherry , dried rose , touch earthy , herbal notes . On the palate this is again slightly funky , quite edgy acidity , touches of dried cherry , slightly gritty chalky notes . This needs time in the glass to show its best and does get better , but this might not be the best bottle . However , shows it mineral , herbal and dried cherry touches on the reasonable length finish . Drink now and over the next few years . At Restaurant Les Caudalies , Arbois — a day ago

Côtes du Jura Poulsard Blend 2020

Brilliant wine. So fresh, tart berries, bright flowers, stone, some herbs, mouth watering acidity from fruit flavors, apple, berries, cherries, hint of tropical fruit. So good with food. So good on its own. This is how I remember more Beaujolais tasting 10-15 years ago. — 3 months ago

Arbois Pupillin Savagnin 2018

Medium lemon yellow . Quite closed at first , this improves with air , actually was finished the following day . White flowers , camomile , quite chalky , a bit funky also . On the palate quite strict and direct , with quite sharp acidity , which does stick out a little bit . Quite lean on the palate On the palate there are notes of lemon , wet stone and white flowers . Quite good mineral , stony length . I can imagine this still ageing quite well , but it probably won’t improve very much . — 6 hours ago

Maybe Jura is just not my thing… tastes like a wine-y beer with hazy red fruit (fruit punch, cranberry juice) flavors that seem more “random,” less refined. — 3 months ago

D.D. Arbois Poulsard Blend 2023

All of the varietals come through but ultimately this is defined by its Pinot Noir polish and elegance. Light-bodied but with lively complexity of red fruit, spice and mineral. — 5 months ago

Interesting palette not sure I ever tasted such an herbal wine before. Nose: cherry, orange? Taste: cherry, rhubarb, unidentified herb? Definitely a new try but very interesting and I did enjoy.  — a month ago
