Jura, FranceThe current NV Crémant du Jura Blanc Brut is from 2020, fermented in stainless with no MLF, and spends at least 2 years sur lattes before disgorged (date noted on the case) with 4 g/L. Based on chardonnay (50%), with savagnin, trousseau, poulsard, and pinot noir filling out the rest. This comes off estate vineyards in Arbois, Montigny-les-Arsures, Passenas, and Le Vernnois, and a mix of soils. Crisp green apple, bright lemon, fresh almond is kissed with meringue on the brisk, shining palate finishing with a slick of salinity. Quite lively at present, and a lovely evolution of style for the house.Tasted: 06 November 2024Tasted by: Prices:

Jura, FranceNow with a new refreshed label, and refreshed philosophy, the current NV Crémant du Jura Blanc Brut is based on chardonnay, with savagnin, trousseau, poulsard, and pinot noir filling out the rest. This comes off estate vineyards in Arbois, Passenas, and Le Vernnois, and spent a minimum of 1 year on lees in bottle prior to disgorge. The creamy palate is shaped by tight green apple, crunchy pear, ripe red apple, and light meringue, finishing with a lemon peel twist and a lingering chalkiness, thanks to the region's marl soils.Tasted: 12 March 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Jura, FranceThe Rolet estate was created by Mr. Désiré Rolet in 1942, with just 4 hectares, and was taken over by his children, Eliane, Bernard, Guy and Pierre in 1958. They grew and ran the estate to be the second largest in the Jura until 2018 when they took retirement and sold to the Devillard family, well known for their Bourgogne estates. This blend of chardonnay, savagnin, pinot noir, and poulsard was sourced from various marl-based vineyards in and around Arbois, and was whole cluster pressed with at least 6 months on lees prior to secondary fermentation. The wine rested a minimum of 3 years on lees prior to disgorgement, with 10 g/L. Creamy red and brisk green apple, crystalline lemon, grapefruit pith, stony toast, and a kiss of vanilla pod perfumes the lingering finish. The creaminess is well balanced off with a bright spire of lemony acidity.Tasted: 14 August 2020Tasted by: Prices:
