Domaine de Montbourgeau, Cuvee Speciale, L'Etoile

Style oxydatif. Sur le noix, rancio et un peu de citron. Assez long en finale. Correct.

The Enigmatic Wines of Jura with Wink Lorch at 67PM. Appearance is clear, medium intensity, golden colour. Legs. Nose pronounced intensity, with aromas of oxidative Sherry, Sotolon, yeasty nutty flor, white plum, coconut cream. Developing. On the palate, still a dry wine, very high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of salty Sherry, creamy coconut, honeyed white plum when you get past the other in your face flavours. Long finish. Very good quality. Oxidative style. …

柑橘、青苹果、杏干、酱油、米醋和一点烟熏咸玉米的香气。与闻香中占据主调的氧化气息不同，入口果味更加清新充沛，口感均衡，结构坚实、宽广。相对来说，酸度和持续力略显普通。

柑橘、苹果，还有芒果、杏的成熟果味，榛子、芝士、烟熏和芳香的白花，当然酱油和一点陈醋的氧化气息也格外明显。入口结构依然坚实严肃，醒酒八小时后果味才在口中弥散开，与氧化味形成均势——闻香的复杂度终于在口中得到了完整呈现，而这种冲撞感、鲜美与氧化的平衡感，让这种等待是值得的。

柑橘、苹果、杏，芝士、黄油、豆蔻、酱油烧肉。果味从强烈的氧化气息中丝丝透出，风格十分古典和优雅。口感坚实，酸度在后期略有衰弱，但整体质量依旧比较稳定。

开瓶便是浓郁的氧化气息，而入口后健康鲜活的果味表现更加突出。苹果、桃、柑橘和杏干，随后是榛子、黄油和奶油太妃糖的香气，还有一些陈皮的微苦回味。入口如同正在叛逆期，强硬、直接、严肃，高酸带来的挺拔结构要被拥有良好复杂度的香气填充，还需假以时日。

This bottle seemed to me more distinctly chardonnay than previous Montbourgeau blends. Very nice and vinous, mature and just slightly oxidative. Enjoyed with seared sous vide chicken breast.

Light greenish gold. Pleasant Manzanilla apple nose. The palate is savory, a bit salty, and tastes of mature chardonnay, powerful and clean with loads of acids but no sharpness. The finish is very long and barely puckering, lovely all around.

By the glass at EMP. I think I could have just spent my night smelling this. Potent stuff. If it were a perfume, it would cost a lot. As the other note mentions, this is on the friendlier side for a vin jaune. Beautiful balance. Incredible concentration. Solid A.

Special stuff. On the restrained end of the spectrum.

All of the essential qualities of the 2000, but with a more friendly, vibrant disposition. It was fresh enough to almost match some sharp parmesan in a salad.

the fruit in this wine is striking - it's ripe and round and very forward. yes, it's oxidized jura wine, but it is the flat out fruitiest one i think i've ever had. someone told me this is all chardonnay in 2001.
