Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (96)

My favourite Savagnin year in, year out is the 2012 Côtes du Jura Savagnin les Chalasses Marnes Bleues, which is produced from old vines planted on the most appreciated soil in the region, blue marl, aged for two years in demi-muid. This is a subtle, mineral, sharp, focused white even at this tender age, and it showed great despite the fact that it had just been bottled. The palate is both spherical and linear, sharp and round, incredibly mineral and tasty with high, citric acidity. It coats your palate and then cleanses it with the lively acidity; it is ideal for the table. Complex, mineral, powerful and elegant. A world-class white. Brutal!
