A unique style of CC with minerality leading throughout. There’s pure, intense cherry fruit on the nose, but it takes a back seat to the quarry activity. Same thing goes for the palate. Very intense minerality. Structurally there is quite a bit of soft, chalky tannin and decent acids. The finish ends minerally and with a slight bitter note. Very good, but not the most elegant rendition. Maybe give it a year or two more to come together. — 5 months ago

Fresh and bright nose. Loads of petrolly minerality. So mineral. Some deep apple-skin fruit. Challengingly dry in the mouth. Liquid stones. A quarry full. A geologist’s dream. — 2 years ago

I’ve gone spelunking in a mineral quarry; it’s huge, bold and beautiful. Definitely more masculine. The tingling acidity keeps it fresh. Lemons and orange peel dominate the palate. The chalky finish keeps going and going. — 3 years ago

Similar notes to prior bottle opened about one year earlier, but this is showing as fresher and more lively, Yum!

Nose has maraschino cherry, white pepper, dry leather, dried red raspberry, distant barnyard, dried orange peel, granite quarry and dry earth.

Palate has dried cherry, dried raspberry, white chocolate, sweet red pepper, black cherry, old leather with medium acidity. This bottle is showing decent tannins, 3H decant. Enjoy 2022-24, in proper storage.

Our second successful preparation of this dish tonight; chicken, apples and cremé à la normande (cream, onion, mushroom & calvados), Jura looks to accompany cremé & calvados just fine. — 3 years ago

Benefits form a decanting to smooth the alcohol out. The nose is peppery but tastes of dried fruit that have been soaking in a brandy for a while. Super smooth and luscious. — 5 months ago

Huge and expansive nose. Ripe apricot and peach and very confectionary. Grapefruit, citrus, tangerine, tangelo and so much more. An amalgam of stunning fruit on a mineral background. Hugely expressive minerality and just a stunningly mineral nose. Smells like a rock quarry. Awesome. The nose is so deep. Kaleidoscopic and fractal like. Palate is young and tangy with enormous structure but it’s delicate and a little bit hidden. Not that integrated at all but all the parts are there. Incredible fruit sapidity on the finish. Huge mineral/citrus inner mouth aromas. Juicy and mineral but man is this backwards. The finish is super long and the wine is crazy concentrated but massively backwards. I’ll be back. — 2 years ago

Didn’t know it was left! Golden Nectar. Just grabbed a Terraces Chardonnay. After drinking with Dover Sole in a butter/same wine sauce over brown rice. Delicious. Mellow Butter accompanied with the wine sauce. Soft flaky white fish with the buttery honey suckle wine! — 8 months ago

Wonderful nose of spicey oak and intense minerality. Saline. Rock quarry vibes. Lemon pith lemon flesh with hints of sugar. So complex and appealing. Hint of butter and loads of salinity. Nose is just a wonderful perfume. 9.6 nose. Showing so well. Palate is juicy and tensile with a killer rich texture and ample freshness. Chewy and rocky with great finesse and some green apple fruit. Lacey, juicy and slippery. Amazing purity and balance here and almost finished with some dry tannins. Just awesome. Like a white burgundy liquid drop amuse bouche. — 2 years ago
