Brut Crémant du Jura Poulsard

Even though this wine is non-vintage, I understand that all the grapes come from 2019. This is a very dry, mineral driven sparkler, that settles relatively quickly, but gosh it’s very unique. The nose is a combination of white stone fruits, a hint of apricot, underripe tangerine, and an underlying funky, vegetal note I couldn’t quite put my finger on. At first, it comes off as pure minerals, with a rich, mouth filling texture and notes of wet stones. Eventually though, this amber colored beauty opens into tart yellow and white fruits, a bold lingering acidity, and some tart citrus on the lingering finish. Very refreshing and an enjoyable brunch or early afternoon pour.
