Smells musty and of dark cherries, maybe plums. Feel a bit of burn from alcohol. Taste is of concentrated plums and cherries. Definite sour notes. Nice lingering finish. Chateauneuf-du-pape is one of those wines where I’ve never had a bad wine. And this one keeps that trend going. — 4 years ago
Caramelized oxidized- lots of bruised apple and baking spices. Great mashed Thanksgiving pal — 5 years 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. — 3 years 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) — 4 years ago
Very finely balanced wine of all 3 Jura red grapes. Soft red fruit with a long lingering taste. Very good! — 5 years ago
Really good, balanced, couldn't quite pick up the fruit but it was very drinkable — 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 — 5 years ago
Oxidative style, nutty, spice, orange peel, round mouthfeel and bright tangy acidity. 2-years in barrels without any topping or racking. — 5 years ago

This is top shelf CdR, ripe with dark fruit and tobacco leaf, grippy and earthy, medium bodied with an acid zip on the finish. Versatile wine and great value. — 4 months ago
