This week we are talking about the small French wine region of Jura, located between Burgundy and Switzerland.
Wine Recommendations
Benedicte et Stephane TISSOT NV - priced around $35.
- White Wine with a nose of bread, green apple and golden pear
- It’s dry with medium plus acidity and flavors very similar to aromas - green apples, golden pear but more yeast flavors than bread
- It’s what I want and expect from a Cremant - clean, crisp and fruity.
- Great food wine, cleansing your palate in between each bite
Marnes Blanches Côtes du Jura Savagnin En Quatre Vis 2016 - priced around $35.
- Light nose of pear skins, yellow flowers and under ripe mangos
- It’s dry with medium acidity, medium body with flavors very similar to aromas just more intense
- The colder the better with this wine and it’s really a food wine - you can drink it on it’s own but paired with the right food it really elevates this wine
Jean Bourdy Macvin du Jura Savagnin NV - priced around $37.
- Nose: orange zest, pear skins, yellow flowers
- Sweet wine with medium acidity and flavors of orange zest and dried fruits like apricots and mangos
- Very unique wine, we really loved the intense flavors
- This wine is dessert on it’s own but also pairs really well with a cheese plate
- Of course there is a lot of alcohol in this wine so drink responsibility
- Priced around $37
