How not to love this oxidative-style wine, with its yellow ripe apples, pears, nuttiness, honey and brioche? This specific aroma and taste profile owes to acetaldehyde, which forms during an oxidation or also prolonged contact with lees, where dead yeast burst open to release acetaldehyde (autolysis). The latter explains why aged champagne develops those yummy characteristic dried apple and brioche from long second fermentation in the bottle. This 2018 Jura from 375ml tastes even more intense and sharper with age. Why the only bottle I could snag was so small?

Delicious! A nice light wine - the description in another reviewer’s comment of “tart apples” is perfectly apt. Leaves your mouth slightly dry like a tart apple would but has an excellent flavor for drinking on its own or with a meal. Stayed with me pleasantly. One of my new favorite whites.

Notig, rijpe appels en lichte zuren in de afdronk. Mooi bij witschimmel kazen of harde jonge kazen
