#6 of Jura Savoie evening
Dark & broody with dark berry fruit (blackberry, mulberry) with some earthy notes and a healthy dose of graphite. Very Gamay, Morton, Brouilly style.
On the palate this has a a firm tannic frame, yet with juicy tannins and good dark plum & mulberry fruit. Nice acidity freshness and a mineral, fresh note.
Needs at least 2h decanting but then is so drinkable. A lovely wine! — 4 years ago
Apricot, green apple, lemongrass, balanced acidity, minerality, long finish. Really nice. — 4 years ago
La bascule du chevillard - 17/02 — 11 years ago
Aroma of ripe cherries, herbaceous and foxy, with a hint of mint. On the palate, it’s rich and intense, with fine tannins and long finish. — 3 years ago
Decided I needed a little Savoie with my dinner, which led me easily to @domainedechevillardsavoie. Apples and baked apple aromas give way to a lemon pith and crushed stone that has some butterscotch emerging along with candied grapefruit. Fantastic acidity, of course. What was liquid stone in its youth is gaining some richness as it ages. So goes Jacquere in its middle age. — 4 years ago
Surprisingly good, especially with being so young. Let it open 10 minutes and it’s absolutely beautiful. Light, balanced and never harsh. Great find! — 7 years ago

Darkest on the table, a bit natty on finish would have worked well with anything BUT thanksgiving. — 3 days ago
