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 Sources: Wikipedia Wine-Searcher Wine Cooler Direct Forbes Oxford Guide to Wine
