Fascinating. Like a white port or sherry. Nearly amber colored. Oxidative and reductive. Lots of wood. Hardly acidic at first but as it opens acidity goes to plus. Finishes shorter than I’d like. — 6 months ago
Poolside hijinks while sipping a bubbly Crémant du Jura made using the ‘traditional method’ following the same rigorous winemaking process as Champagne, but with different minimum aging requirements, permitted varieties, among other things.
This wine is comprised of mainly Chardonnay alongside Savagnin, Trousseau, Poulsard, and Pinot Noir.
It has grace, balance, and freshness with notes of yellow apple, pear, freshly cut herbs, and savory qualities that are tough to describe.
It has character! It’s highly quaffable and enjoyable. What’s more is that it’s an incredible value.
Cheers to these fleeting summer days in the northern hemisphere!!! 🥂🍾 🌞

Traded for this (pre-opened, long story) with our neighbours. Soft fruits and earth. Would be perfect in the summer with a chicken or duck salad. Making it work with spaghetti and meatballs for Christmas Eve. — 4 months ago
A nice, lighter, brighter chardonnay based champagne. Perhaps harder to find, but worthwhile if you can. — 5 months ago
A blend of 40% Poulsard, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Trousseau, the 2022 Rouge Arbois Tradition displays bright red fruits alongside spicy elements. Subtle herbaceous accents add complexity, attributable to the use of approximately 20% stems from the Pinot Noir and Trousseau during fermentation. Concentrated and savory, the 2022 is neatly framed by ripe tannins and can be enjoyed over the next four years. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, August 2024)
