This has pliancy and cushioning of fruit, with notes of grapefruit and lychee, offset against precise, zippy acidity. Joyful, this offers excellent value
The Badstube is wonderfully open in style, food-friendly, ripe, yet focused – lovely wine

Stargazer lily, yellow nectarine and orange blossom on the nose. The palate reflects those qualities together with a savory underpinning. The texture is both opulent and elegant, exhibiting the balance of fruit and a quartz-like translucency that only age, and the superb site situated at 1,800 feet can bring to a wine. This wine is extremely well-integrated with a lingering, mouthwatering and round finish.

Champs Pimont is a 1.4 hectare holding, with a high proportion of white marl which, as in Corton Charlemagne, can give a marked sense of stony mineral
bite. White stone-fruit with honeysuckle aromas. The palate is inviting and full bodied, with orange blossom and yellow flowers, finishing salty-mineral and precise.
Vinified in a mixture of 30% foudres and 70% barrels, with an average of 15% new oak.

The wine exudes exotic and tropical fruits and continues with citrus. The nose has enticing aromas of white flowers and fragrant trees. A touch of spice and dried nuts on the finish add some volume to the softness and delicacy. The salinity of the terroir is very subtle. Really good wine in 2020. The Savagnin is Jura’s signature grape, and also the Domaine’s calling card. Many styles of Savagnin exist. This cuvee, Ouillé (also called Naturé) seeks to protect aromatic freshness by contrast with the oxidative style of Vin Jaune or Savagnin aged under flor (sous-voile). The energy and vivacity are so refreshing and enticing. This wine should be in your cellar.

A beautifully complete nose here, of fine crushed earth minerality, ripe lime, gooseberry and apricot fruit. The palate is powerful from the off, drivingly intense and with an unabashed potency which is really rather exciting. This, as Sofia was quick to point out, is balanced by an intricate delicacy of acidic bone structure and mineral tension. Hits all the right notes, stunning.

The 2018 Upper Barn Vineyard Chardonnay showcases bright ripe peach and fresh ginger on the nose. The palate continues the experience with rich stone fruits, cashew, honey and ample minerality. The texture is both opulent and elegant, with a unique concentration and structure that will only improve with cellaring. This wine is perfectly balanced with a lingering, mouthwatering and round finish.

These vineyards are in Montigny-lès-Arsures and Arbois, dominated by marl soils from three different geographical periods, the Trias, Bajocian and Lias. This is ripe on the nose with stone fruit and exotic fruit. It has the unmistakable nut and dry fruit character. On the palate there is an intense bouquet of sweet spice and ripe apple. We tasted from barrel, while the malolactic fermentation was finishing. The wine was still cloudy, with a high level of sugar still remaining. It was an explosion of white flower aromas. Very promising! The berries are lightly crushed before being pressed and then fermented in barrels and botti. One third of the grapes are left on their skins for one night. The wine is aged half in 500L oak casks and half in stainless steel tanks.

Honeysuckle and crème brulée aromas lead into a supple, zesty palate of orange, apricot, mango and rich peach fruit, with a wonderful slaty mineral definition. An enveloping wine, which will drink relatively early but has a long life ahead of it. 8% abv.

The Arbois Chardonnay shows the sun of the vintage, with aromas of ripe apple coming first, followed by the classic minerality of the Bajocian limestone over the grey marls. The wine is fresh and poised, with broad shoulders. It has a defined Burgundian style, almost akin to Meursault. Yet it is Jura through-and-through, with its typical crushed shell notes to the fore.
