A little post fermentation took away from the experience. It had the texture of #chardonnay though. #jeanfrancoisganevat

Blind tasting for Jeremy, Corkbuzz somm, and Max. Amazing expression of Chardonnay, surprisingly didn't have the usual Jura funk, but so delicious.

The first Alba white truffles of the season might be boosting the score here a bit.

Not oxidized, but less vibrant, less fresh, than last bottle during 2016.

Loaded to the brim with citrus oils and ripe stone fruits. Turbid as a thunderstorm and lovely drinking - 2014

Juicy lemon pith and baking spices up front and mid palate. Rear is mineral driven and chalky. Fantastic poise and balance front to rear.
