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. 🥰🤩😘
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!
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.
I'm lucky to live very close to the region, therefore I tried quite a few of the most sought after producers such as domaine des miroirs, houillon-overnoy, ganevat (many wines of theirs, amazing producer), domaine des murmures, labet, bruyere-houillon and so on. It's probably the region I know the most and I absolutely love it, the only shame is it gets more and more expensive, plus the availability of some of the producers is madness these days, often worse than burgundy, as for burgundy you have to just pay the certain amount and you can get the most of the bottles, in jura money isn't enough, some bottles are just not possible to find, period. Lovely to see an episode, cheers! :D
@@NoSediment I agree and disagree, it is the case for most of the producers, however the demand on burgundy is in a large part driven by investors, meaning they’re meant to sell those wines at some point with a certain margin, Jura is yet kind of a obscure region, being rather sought after by lovers of the region and wines in general, then to by drunk by them. So I believe that as in burgundy money can help in resolving some of the wet dreams of wine lovers, for Jura it’s less doable
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! 🌺🍷🙏🌺❤️
Thank You. I created this channel as way to study wine myself. And there is no way I could know everything, or even remember everything. I hope You get to enjoy some of the Jura wines, and please let me know how do You like them..
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.
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.
I'm fairly certain I've only bought one bottle of Jura wine, a Cremant. I've seen a bottle of Vin Jaune but didn't have the space or budget for it when I saw it at around $60 for a 500 mL bottle in the USA.
Yes, Vin Jaune can go high in prices. And maybe it is best to taste before You buy it, as it is very specific style, and might not be to everyone’s liking, and therefore the money spent might seem too much. 🥲
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.
Hey, yes You are correct, it is indeed that Vin Jaune earliest can be released 6 years and 3 months after the harvest. Comte and Vin Jaune, it makes my mouth filling with saliva! 🤤
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.
Yeah, the prices are all really high now. Zig where they zag. There is a lot of great wine out there so we can just buy what's not being discussed and often find value there.
And yet Bourdy offered such a lovely value, I wouldn’t believe the price they told me to pay for their wines. I know few producers, that are crazy up, but that definitely is still minority.
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.
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
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
As with everything in the wine - it depends.. 😅 but I haven’t seen as high as 15%, even though Trousseau can develop higher alcohol levels and might reach 14.5%. More common around 13%, yes.
@@NoSediment Thank you again. It has been my experience, if I do not know a wine region or producer, the label, of course, can provide valuable information. I look for alcohol % from 14% from red wines. Living in the UK we usually get sent all the lower quality stuff. Cote du Rhone village at 12 % for example. The higher qualities are from 14%. Hence the curiosity of alcohol level. Thank you again
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.
@@NoSediment It doesn't necessarily mean much, I'm just musing really. Some of them were sold out also, so someone obviously really liked some vintages for sure :)
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😊
There are some great natural wines, currently they are made in many different styles, and I am happy to say that it is not a style on its own anymore. At least in my view. There are some not to my taste and some that I absolutely adore! 🥰

Thank You! 🙏🏻
Wow ...on my way to the chop ...Vin Jaune...Vin de Paille I love to try these for certain !
Let us know how did You enjoy them! 😉
Been waiting for this! Thank you.
Have you seen Konstantin Baum’s video on Jura?
I hope You will enjoy it! ☺️
Probably my favourite French wine region and I've had all of them that you displayed in this video. Especially fond of vin Jaune.
Made for me episode. Thank you!
I hope You will enjoy it! ☺️

I do hope it is because You haven’t tried that much, not because You dislike the region. 😅😅😅
Never had any experience with Jura wines so this was a cool episode but more than anything LOVE the shirt!!!!
Hahaha, thank You. 🙏🏻 I love my t-shirt collection as well. 😌

Today I discovered 2020 Domaine Maire 'Grand Minéral' Pinot Noir, Côtes du Jura - tonights homework 🙂
Never tried them!!! Can’t wait to do it!!!
Hopefully You will enjoy! ☺️

I think that is going to be the case with great producers everywhere. 😔

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.
With such a small production and with increasing interest amongst wine enthusiasts I am guessing the situation might become only worse. 😔

Deal! 🙌🙌🙌

I hope You will enjoy their unique style! ☺️

@@NoSediment thanks 🙏 I love your videos. I am preparing for my ASI level 2. You are pretty kool. Carry on.
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.
i heard the exact same

@@NoSediment Oh that is good to know - all Jura wines I see at wine bars and in retail shops in my city are going for quite high prices now.
@fkcoolers2669 Vin Jaune for sure. But other categories this region offers, I think can still be affordable.
Thanks for covering Jura, there's not much content on it. :)
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.
I also hope it will, but .. I am not sure it is going to stay hidden much longer! 😏

Jura does offer great quality, and I do think that they have amazing style on their own.
I love vin jaune. But I absolutely hate 99% so called "natural" wines and there are too many of them in Jura (and in Beaujolais too).
There are some great natural wines, currently they are made in many different styles, and I am happy to say that it is not a style on its own anymore. At least in my view. There are some not to my taste and some that I absolutely adore! 🥰
