Jura, France
Really impressive night one. Concentrated, mushroomy, vinous, tart, Night two, sadly this is showing brothy and microbial notes.

Initial hit of matchstick reduction that still slightly lingered after in the glass for some time. Toasted butterscotch, caramel apple, ripe kiwi on the nose.
Lemongrass, racy acid, ripe kiwi and toasted asted butterscotch is still there, creme brulee with lemon zest.

Really intriguing reduction, likely mercaptans. I have a feeling this wine will drink quite similarly for many years to come. Savory and dense but great energy.

This domain really does produce great wines in the pure sense of the word and the Jura region some of the most individual and purest wines we can imagine but so under-valued. Single vineyard Chardonnay vines from old vines (oldest planted in 1938), almost no sulphitage...A wine with plenty of power, energy and minerality. A nutty finish even if not "eleve sous voile". Would perhaps lack of depth /dimension...vintage?
