Jura FTW again! Man, this producer is fast becoming one of my favorites. Complexity here is off the charts: granite, cherry, cranberry, mushroom, dried herbs, eucalyptus, and more. Light and smooth, low tannins, it still packs a big flavor punch. Cherry cola, orange peel, lots of pepper. Heck yeah.

Dec 8th, 2023Fresh ripe raspberries. Beautiful mineral concentration. A hint of wonderful funk. Cinnamon. Really excellent.

Nov 21st, 2018Oriental fruit and fresh apple on the nose. Very floral showing some orange blossom, and a lees-y roundness. However acid dominates the palate as well as a sting minerality. Apple and lemon undergirded by earthy funk!

Aug 20th, 2017What happens when one of Burgundy’s top producers (the Marquis d’Angerville) buys land in the Jura and goes all-in on making wine there? In a word, Deliciousness. This is one of the early efforts (2nd vintage), which, frankly was a bit shrill in its youth. But it is mellowing into beautifully floral and crunchy red berries and herbs with just a touch of caramel at this point in its evolution. I have a few more bottles of this vintage and look forward to watching it evolve further. A blend of Pinot Noir, Trousseau, and Poulsard.
