Matured for 42 months in 300- and 400-liter oak vessels, the 2020 Savagnin Côtes du Jura Vigne Aux Dames is alluring. Precisely sculpted lemon peel, yellow apple, chamomile and a dash of dried blossom are front and center. Vibrant and tensile on the medium-bodied palate, the 2020 is alive and kicking. Closing with persistence on the sapid finish, it deserves a round of applause. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, August 2024)

Really appreciating this Rhône white! Complex and tasty, with beautiful aromas of peaches, apricot, and honey. Plus some lime and white pepper. Very ripe pear flavors, with some slate. Great mouthwatering acids. — a year ago
Last had 2 years ago and the age has been good to this I think. Pours a deep inky indigo. Dark fruit and some olive brine with integrated but present tannins. Mouth coating. Nice acid and a long finish. Really quite delicious and certainly an excellent value. — 2 months ago
Absolutely phenomenal. Notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and honeysuckle without a single note of traditional oaky butteriness. — 7 months ago
The complex 2020 Savagnin Côtes du Jura Cuvée du Professeur unwinds with prominent notes of saffron, dried chamomile, ripe pear, yellow apple and a touch of jasmine. Powerful and concentrated, the 2020 is a transparent reflection of the warm vintage, but the steely acidity cuts through like a scalpel, flawlessly preserving freshness. Focused, persistent and saline on the finish, the 2020 is simply awesome. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, August 2024)

Let it breath for up to 2 hours. It matures and mellows out and becomes quite balanced and good. — 7 months ago
