It took me a good 8 to 10 years into my wine tasting and discovery journey to start liking and appreciating oxydative wines (sous voile) from jura. But now I like them more and more every time. Something in the mouthfeel which is unmistakable...
The nose is very oxydative with walnuts, bruised apples... The palate is superlative. A huge acid drive, great width, a dusty, buttery mouthfeel, some subtle nutty touches along with apple, before a massive, spherical and buttery mid palate that powers up an extremely long finish with butter, nutty notes and a nice freshness that makes it really great. It's clearly not for everybody but it's very much for me 😅 — 3 months ago

Delicious and Creamy!!! Aromas of honey and stone fruits. The palate is teased with flavors of white peach, pear, honey. Pale yellow with nice acidity and a creamy finish. Great with cheese for lunch. — 3 years ago

There is minerality on the nose with limestone but there is fruit too: pear and lemon. That's a nice nose and it's quite different from the nose of the 2014 a few weeks back. There is a bit of reduction this time. The palate is great with a very strong acid drive, pear and lemon all along, some spice (white pepper?) a good grip, a nice width, and almost a salty touch toward the end. It's a whole different style than the 2014 (which I clearly preferred) but it's very good nevertheless. And once again, what a bargain! — 4 years ago

The Reserve is made from 5 rows of vines in the centre of the closely spaced (9000 vines per hectare) north east facing vineyard planted on silky loam. The unfiltered Reserve is matured for 20 months in new Alliers oak. Regarding colour this is mid crimson with tawny notes. A stunning nose - a red fruited perfume (cherry) with loamy Sous Bois notes (compost heap). Those aromatics translate to the medium bodied palate finishing with fine silky tannins. Very Bass Phillip. Obviously in the conversation regarding the best Pinot Noir in Australia. I would give the mantle to the BP Reserve. It should be for the price. One should not approach a BP Reserve under 10 years of age. This is of top 1er Cru and Grand Cru standard. — 3 months ago

Quite deep ruby centre with quite thin garnet rim . Pretty young looking appearance . On the nose there are some cassis , raspberry , with touches of vanilla, dry spices , cedar and mint. On the palate some sweet cassis , raspberry , cherry , grafite , ground coffee, with the vanilla and spice notes of the nose . Balanced acidity with slightly drying tannins. Ok length with a tobacco and coffee tinged finish. Needed a little time to come together and food certainly helped also . This is probably at peak now so I would drink from now over the next 5 -8 years or so . — 4 months ago

Pleasant, light, not too complex or heavy. Good example of a simpler-style Cremant. — 4 years ago

This wine is absolutely amazing. It pours into the glass as a deep yellow/gold that sort of looks like Chardonnay that has gone around the bend. It has a vermouth-y nose with a whole bunch of maple, vanilla, and celery (!?!?!). When you taste it, it has absolutely not a trace of sweetness. It’s pretty compact at first, but it opens up into something g completely unexpected and delightfully flavorful with a richness that don’t expect ( and really never find) in a white wine. It’s not like anything I’ve ever had, and I mean that in the best way possible. I hope that I can find it in the States at some point as wines from the Jura aren’t very common. Give it a whirl. It’s not for everyone, but quite different and delicious. — 4 years ago
