Baked apples, wax, lingering salinity and nuttiness. Medium acidity. Quite pleasurable and complex. Perhaps more acidity would make it brighter. Overall, a great non-oxidized Jura. — 9 years ago

It seems like in the Jura there is always a new treasure to be found. Especially for acidity-seekers. Francois Rousette is making topped-up wines around Château-Chalon since 2007, but it is the first time I came across them. This one is a persistant beauty with a powerful mineral backbone and razorblade acids. Liquid fossils. Wow! — 9 years ago

My first Jura wine. Glad I finally got around to trying one...
The nose is a bit like a Fino in character, with pronounced saline and mineral aromas, and there are also persimmon, apple, and lychee notes. On the palate, there is that Fino quality, but much more tart, green apple and citrus. High acid, but it is well-integrated and the wine has good overall balance. The finish is lingering with tart fruit and a chalky note. Really tasty and interesting. — 8 years ago
