Vintage 2020 | Walnuts in smell, pleasurable greasy roundness with a long aftertaste. It sells at the price of a song. The producer says it should sell at 60% more…

It took me a good 8 to 10 years into my wine tasting and discovery journey to start liking and appreciating oxydative wines (sous voile) from jura. But now I like them more and more every time. Something in the mouthfeel which is unmistakable...
The nose is very oxydative with walnuts, bruised apples... The palate is superlative. A huge acid drive, great width, a dusty, buttery mouthfeel, some subtle nutty touches along with apple, before a massive, spherical and buttery mid palate that powers up an extremely long finish with butter, nutty notes and a nice freshness that makes it really great. It's clearly not for everybody but it's very much for me 😅

Gaat prima met hartige gerechten, een echte eetwijn. Meestal betekent dat dat er een fout gemaskeerd moet worden en in het geval van oxidatieve Jura-wijnen klopt dat ook wel, zij het een bewuste fout 😄. Geen score.
