The Society's Exhibition Côtes du Jura 2020

3.181818200 star rating 11 Reviews
The Jura is a small but mighty wine region renowned for its breathtakingly complex, oxidative wines that spend time under a layer of yeast (sous voile). The launch of our first Exhibition Jura from Arbois is a great introduction to wines aged in this way (in this case for three years sous voile) before bottling. The native savagnin grape makes up half of the blend and you can expect delicious nutty, spicy and salty flavours that make this style such a treat. .

It’s rare to find a Jura white of this quality under £20, which makes this equal blend of Savagnin and Chardonnay is the ideal introduction to a unique style made close to France’s border with Switzerland. Best drunk with the local Comté cheese, although it’s heavenly with onion soup or a plate of wild mushrooms, it’s textured, racy and appealingly salty, reflecting the three years it spent “sous voile” (under a film of the flor yeast). Not unlike an unfortified Sherry, albeit with Alpine acidity, it reveals layers of citrus, almond and liquorice and a tapering finish.

Aged (like fino and amontillado sherry) under a veil of flor, this is a relatively affordable beginner’s guide to the uniquely yeasty-savoury unfortified sous-voile wines of the Jura, with a moreish salted grilled-nut quality that’s very good with older Comté cheese.

The Society’s first own-label Jura wine is made in the traditional oxidative fashion that has come to define the region. A blend of majority Chardonnay, aged in stainless steel, and Savagnin, aged sous voile (under veil) for 36 months, it offers scintillating nutty complexity with sleek citrus and a salty streak. A seriously distinctive, ‘talking point’ wine that’s also incredibly moreish.

If you buy one wine from this list make it this one. A mature, nutty Jura white that’s absolutely made for Comté.
