This superb wine is my first Savignin from Côtes-du-jura. It has a fine pale golden hue which exudes fine notes of lemon, apple blossom and a hint of walnuts. Round and generous with wonderful acidity, I’m sure this wine will cellar really well and be equally enjoyable after several years of aging. We elected to pair this beauty with a hot smoked salmon, asparagus-ribbons, and capers in a lemon zest, creme-fraiche sauce accompanying a delicate angel hair pasta. The entire meal and wine pairing was perfect. — 5 years ago
A first for me. Right off the bat I was hit with barnyard funk, a fruit driven balsamic note and very chewy/crunchy cranberry. Best enjoyed slightly below cellar temp, this still needs some age or a solid hour in the decanter to express itself. Lots of potpourri, tar, and herbal/mineral traits. I was only able to enjoy a glass of this shortly after it was opened so I’m sure it blossomed after I left and was cooled down. Need to re-visit this unique blend. — 6 years ago

(It’s evening). Bright straw yellow. Pronounced nose. Blossom, peach, sweet yeastiness, gentle nuttiness, golden apples and pears, spicy chicken skin soup, sweet baking spices (vanilla, cinnamon). Deep and intense but round and broad, not piercing.
Dry, high acid, high alcohol, full, rounded body, hint of spritz, very saline, nice long finish. A bit austere. Couldn’t quite cope with brilllat savarin but great with the others.
Les Resistantes remains supreme. — 4 years ago

Bouchon plus ronde en attaque mais sans aucun boisé apportant un côté salin et désaltérant

Very light, and a bit earthy. Perfect summer wine. Even better a bit chilled. — 7 years ago

That's my jam. Smells kinda funky (nail polish) but tastes incredible. Preserved lemon peel, high acid, long finish. — 2 years ago
Really interesting orange wine from the Jura. Almost Sauternes-esque on the nose. Wine really opens up after an hour or two to reveal herbal notes like a light yellow chartreuse. — 5 years ago
Very Sherry like with mostly oxidative notes but little acidity from the Chardonnay or Savagnin shining through. — 6 years ago
Oxidative style, nutty, spice, orange peel, round mouthfeel and bright tangy acidity. 2-years in barrels without any topping or racking. — 6 years ago
All kinds of salty mineral goodness. Best to let open up in the glass for 20-30mins. Let it develop along with good conversation with friends or family. #wheninparis — 8 years ago
