Côtes du Jura, Jura, France
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)

Great to taste these wines from bottle after visiting the cellar.

Well what the hell did I just open? When your first words are “whoa” and hour second statement is “this shit is goopy” you know it’s gonna be a wild ride.
And I promise I mean goopy in the best way.
The nose on this goes from a face punch vanilla bean straight to cardamom and ash.

Straw color. Red apples, cider, some peaches. Medium acidity. Slight nuttiness.

Excellent. Not oxidized, but full and complex and firm.
