Didier Grappe Vin Jaune 2010 620ml

Tasting Notes

Possibly the most natural wine style in the world. It sits in barrel for more than 6 years under a veil of flor (yeast) which not only protects the wine from the nasty yeast, but also produces what we know as oxidative characteristics (aldehydes) which lend that distinctive nutty and salty flavour to the wine. This is a wine to be respected and admired. Only produced in exceptional years, these wines will age a lifetime and should be drunk with the local Jura cheese, Comte. - Chris L
