Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 2022 “Les Vieux Clos” pours a light golden color with medium+ viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with white tree flowers, mandarine oranges, ginger, lanolin and just a touch mousy. On the palate, the wine is slightly off-dry with high acid that’s balanced by the unquestionable quality of the fruit. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, wooly and rich. The alcohol is medium+ but should be at all be surprised? Say what you want about Joly’s methods; his wines are never boring. I, for one, adore them. Drink now through 2032 easy. — 4 months ago

Light & floral with bright cherries, violets, crushed red currants plus a whiff of spice & tree. Ram. There’s also a hint of dried Mandarine peel. Very enticing.
On the palate this is quite light, very juicy, wo the great energy & flow. The acidity is bright & lively, the tannins present but juicy and very fine. Nicely focused and with pure, fresh red fruit, crushed rock, brilliant drinkability.
Great value for money. The bottle empties dangerously fast! — 3 years ago

Quite closed & shy on the nose upon opening, with a short decant shows ripe pear on sourdough toast, with a healthy pinch of salt. But also expands with time, showing nutmeg, dried mandarine peel, wet pebbles, limestone minerality.
Fresh & incredibly enticing. Quite subtle nonetheless.
On the palate this is a stunner. Intense, structured, with juicy acidity and a almost tannic frame. Ripe pears & apples and loads of minerality, saltiness, savoury edges. Rich yet with great flow, elegant yet with interesting edges. Only the alc (13.5%) could be integrated better, as it slightly sticks out towards the finish.
A brilliant PB and amazing value, too.
Just don’t overchill or it goes bland. — 2 years ago

Nice, nice, nice! Decent fruit and citric minerality in the nose. Some pineapple, sweet mandarine, flower honey flow along the palate with a surprisingly creamy touch. Finishes with a tight and bone dry grip. More! — 2 years ago

Fantastic aromatics of Meyer Lemon, hint pineapple sage, mandarine zest and touch of Elderberry. Salty, plenty of minerals, touch tart. This is just so much fun to drink. — 3 years ago

#7 of Jura Savoie evening
Amazing nose - dried apricot, sharp lemon acidity, kumquat, pomelo Marmelade, candied Mandarine peel, golden raisins. Amazing. Could smell this forever.
On the palate this shows amazing balance. High sweetness and high acidity with brilliant drinkability and freshness. Great precision and energy. This is soo good!! — 3 years ago
