Been waiting for this! Thank you.
Hi agnus. Vin jaune has to be aged 6 years and 3 months. I tried some of them and goes brilliantly with especially comte cheese. Special aromas and structure.
Beautiful
Made for me episode. Thank you!
Wonderful
Dear NO Sediment Thank you again for presenting this other region in France we should try. I have not heard of the Trousseau nor Poulsard Grapes. can you please advise alcohol % of the red grape varietals 13-15%? Many Thanks
Yes! Love Cremant du Jura, and also had Arbois Melon à Queue Rouge and Vin Jaune. I have loved them all, especially the Vin Jaune. Would love to try some of the dessert wines.
Thanks for covering Jura, there's not much content on it. 🙂
Jura has been trending for the past 3 years and now overhyped in many of the natural wine bars in London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam. I love the style and distinctive expression, however prices have gone through the roof too. Ganevat and Labet are great, but indeed hard to find.
Despite being a wine enthusiast myself, I have to admit that I haven't tasted Jura wines yet. After this video I will definitely give a try 😉
the reason most people tent to compare wines to Burgundy and Bordeaux is that, most wines of the world are trying to be Burgundy and Bordeaux. there are maybe 10-15 true original terroir(full sense of this word) wines in the world and rest are just trying to imitate them. Bordeaux is probably the most imitated style of winemaking in whole history of winemaking😅 p.s. I have only tried few bottles of white and red Jura, loved them😊
Any sommelier who loves Jura wines and wears an Iron Maiden T-shirt, is the only one I will listen to. You're so sweet and a great teacher about wines Agnese. 🥰🤩😘
An absolute favorite region for certain. Just lovely wines. Vin de Paille is a favorite as are the dry ones from Chateau Chalon and Cremant’s. Great video.
I haven’t, purely because…well there’s just so many wine “firsts”, I just haven’t gotten to it. But am aware of the buzz around Jura. And really appreciate the thoughtful and thorough video you prepared. Thanks! Also, really appreciate that you out yourself when you are not familiar enough to have a well-formed opinion—which other wine content creators followed that example. Cheers! 🌺🍷🙏🌺❤️
Thanks for the great video! It’s very hard to come by Jura in Canada. I have only had two jaunes, both while visiting Europe, and both blew my mind.
I had to search through Vivino to find any Jura wines I've tried. A year ago, I really enjoyed a 2020 Pignier Chardonnay de la Reculée. Time to revisit the region!
I really enjoy Jura whites and vin Jaune as well as Crémant du Jura. I am less experienced with the Reds of the region and so far have not been as impressed by those
Never tried them!!! Can’t wait to do it!!!
Agnes – you've eluded to many times that wine is a journey. If one sticks to tried and true paths the journey may become boring. No matter how good the wine if we just drink the same old stuff we'll become bored. Here in Australia we have so many varied wine regions with vastly different terrior and climates. The wines from any region can differ greatly from year to year which I personally like. The wine journey is a journey of discovery – not only of the wines themselves but also of ourselves. Its an amazingly rewarding never-ending journey best undertaken with close friends. Hugs from Melbourne.
Never tried Jura (that I know). I checked your notable producers in my Norwegian market, and the critics here must not have gotten the memo, because they were generally not super enthused. I hardly did exhaustive market research though, just a superficial impression.
I've learned that what "wine pro's" are into isn't always where it's at for me. It can be, but their current preference can also be an expression of boredom, ideology or simply trend/identity markers. Also I've noticed that the difference between having a couple sips (and possibly spitting it out) and having an entire bottle can be two very different things.
I’ll say it now and on my deathbed, Jura is the best wine region in France. That being said I hope it stays(relatively) niche. There’s a reason we Jura lovers gatekeep this tiny wine region after all. As a small aside there’s a wonderful little wine bar in Tokyo that’s reservation only which serves only Jura wines.
