Bruised apple and pear, lemon and lovely minerality with a hint of nuttiness. Everything I love about Jura

Melon Que Rouge 2011: yellow fruit, Apple, yellow pear. Mineral. Light almond notes. Not as fruity as the Chard. Quite phenolic, lacking depth. 87

Full, zingy, a bit volatile but that balances the richness, very classic wine

First experience with this grape - was maybe a little oxidized but grew into itself

A step above their regular Chardonnay, this wine is made with melon à queue rouge, an ancient strain of Chardonnay. Complex, more aromatic nose. Elegant, mineral, saline, balanced
