The 2022 Chardonnay Arbois Patchwork was bottled in March 2024. Opening with some reduction, time in the glass unearths wet stone and lemon flesh aromas. Anchored by zesty acidity, the 2022 is a well-built and tensile Chardonnay that walks off the stage with a tidy finish. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, August 2024)

Matured for 42 months in 300- and 400-liter oak vessels, the 2020 Savagnin Côtes du Jura Vigne Aux Dames is alluring. Precisely sculpted lemon peel, yellow apple, chamomile and a dash of dried blossom are front and center. Vibrant and tensile on the medium-bodied palate, the 2020 is alive and kicking. Closing with persistence on the sapid finish, it deserves a round of applause. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, August 2024)

The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Crémant du Jura BBF blends base wines from the 2018 and 2019 vintages. A single-varietal Chardonnay, it showcases intense oyster shell, ripe apple and pear as well as subtle brioche complexities. Closing with a focused and bone-dry finish, this is a neat and tidy Crémant du Jura with splendid freshness. Zero dosage. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, August 2024)

A blend of 40% Poulsard, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Trousseau, the 2022 Rouge Arbois Tradition displays bright red fruits alongside spicy elements. Subtle herbaceous accents add complexity, attributable to the use of approximately 20% stems from the Pinot Noir and Trousseau during fermentation. Concentrated and savory, the 2022 is neatly framed by ripe tannins and can be enjoyed over the next four years. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, August 2024)
