N lovey. Candied Cherries. Really floral. Penetrating.

P. Sweet cherry. Not as great as nose. Hint heat.

Pale gold in color; lemon, yellow apples, and peaches on the nose; high acidity; tastes like lemon zest; honeysuckle, and pear with a long finish. Nellie and I like it. Rayne did not. — 2 years ago

First time trying this varietal on its own. Was a very new aroma and taste to me. Big amounts of tea on the nose and palate, with a vegetal/mineral character and wet hay. Bright acid and funky cool. — 7 years ago

Caramel and fig Newton. A nice change of pace for my birth year wine from my usual Sauternes. — 8 years ago

Jura, the slightest touch of ne pas Ouillé. Caramel, nutty, at the smallest amount. Only noticeable because we were also drinking a fresh white Burg. — 8 years ago

Medium amber color. Aromas of crushed pineapple, dried apricot and orange marmalade. Burnt honey on the palate, tropical fruit flavors and caramel on the finish. Very tasty Sauternes! — 9 months ago

Toast, strawberry, cherry and hay on the nose. It's rather subtle and delicate. The palate is very well designed, with a strong acid backbone, a nice silky texture with strawberry, a velvety tannin wall before a fruity, silky finish. It's very smooth and juicy, and dangerously easy going. It was served all along dinner but it was showing best when paired with cheese (Saint nectaire fermier was a hit pairing) — 5 years ago

Terrific fruit, both on the nose and the palate. Natural yeast in this biodynamic wine. Slight earthiness, great balance between fruit, tannins, acidity. Had with grilled, marinated flap steak. Yum. — a year ago

All the funky, stony and herbal action you’d expect from a Jura Chardo. Candied lemon, appleskin, rockdust, flint, herbaceous/saline and woolly notes, ginger and jasmin. Lovely touches of bitter almond skin in the finish, which is long and dry but refreshing. Full of tension and nervosity. Very very tasty and interesting and - @ 20€ - a fantastic alternative for the high reputation wines of Ganevat, Labet and Tissot (just to mention a few), although there’s probably a tiny step back in complexity. — 4 years ago

Red fruit and currant with baking spice, . Dry with medium tannins, decent acidity and some alcohol heat to back it up. Nice wine from a consistent Rhône producer — 6 years ago

Lucky enough to have been invited to pillage the cellar of an old friend and came out of it with a 1975 and 1986 ch Rayne-Vingneau Sauternes. Both wonderful but the 86 was stunning, everything a late harvest wine can and should be. Fresh herbal aromas of tarragon, camphor, menthol and almond oil. Honeyed dried apricots in mid palate with do much more . Clean mineral and mediciinal finish. Very lush and lithe. Truly a standard bearer. — 7 years ago

Лудинг.
Немного летучки, тонкий бруснично-ежевичный нос, немного подлеска, мясо. Во рту мягкое, шелковистое, повторяет нос, средняя кислотность, хороший финиш. — 7 years ago

2015. Bought a bottle, went back for a case. Great stuff, suitable earthiness. A little rustic and needing a year, but, WOW. — 8 years ago
