L'etoile, Jura

Cuvée Sacha Arbois Chardonnay Blend

Whoa nelly. So glad to have found this in the back of the fridge. Oxidation folded in; an old cheese of a wine. And bright. Friend of Indian food! — 7 years ago

Impossible de retrouver le terroir du jura, c'est très bourguignon et vraiment délicieux! On peut penser à un beau blanc de la côte châlonnaise. — 8 years ago

Firstly the nose is driven by strong Sherry notes. Gets better & more harmonious with air. The Sherry turns into curry plant, fennel blended with hints of apricot & yellow stone fruit. Like a laser beam on the palate, very salty, vibrating and grasping. Long finish. — 8 years ago

La Fauquette Arbois Chardonnay 2009

I just had this with some Strozzapreti with freshly foraged morels and in season peas...and the whole thing just sang. 'sous viele' Chard at its finest. Engaging, distinctive, and downright delicious. All I'm gonna say is : FAUQUETTE! — 10 years ago

Oh Jura. Pears, apples, with that light nutty oxidation note. Creamy on the palate in the way. Medium bodied. Salty. Dope — 11 years ago

Côtes du Jura Chardonnay 2010

Terrific. Deep golden in color. A sense of oxidation or maybe more like a sherry cask aroma. Dry. — 8 years ago

Domaine de la Tournelle

Terre de Gryphées Arbois Chardonnay

Not as intense as the savagnin, but a tasty and complex bottle. The Chardonnay adds some bright Apple to the mix, hint of funk, nice salinity and minerality. — 9 years ago

Domaine de Montbourgeau

Cuvée Spéciale L'Etoile Chardonnay Blend

Bruised green apple, sweet-tart lemon, then cream cheese, hay, blanched almond, bee pollen. Oxidized, saline stuff; description does the combination of flavors little justice. Yum. — 10 years ago

I love opening this wine for people who hate on chardonnay. Opens some eyes. Of course, some of them then start hating on oxidative winemaking. Their loss.

Smells like late night room-temperature lemon bars and honeyed cashews, tastes like sugar cookies topped with Lemon Heads, and Lays Potato Chip crumbles from the bottom of the bag you've dumped directly into your mouth. — 9 years ago

Cuvée Florine Côtes du Jura Chardonnay 2010

Such an interesting wine...not in the same league as the Marnes Bleues, but still pretty. Nose with distinct minerality, something really fresh like clean linen, orange peel, slight peppery spice, tiny hint of fennel? light on the jura funk though! Smooth and lithe on the palate, lemon, starfruit, balanced acidity...in fact, the whole package is well rounded...so tasty, mmmmmmm... — 9 years ago

2007: The nose doesn't prepare you for the lovely cotton candy sweetness on the palate. A very pleasant wine with medium weight and a nice uplift of sweetness toward end, yet with a good acidic cut to keep things in check. Would like to have again. — 10 years ago
