Your questions, our answers.

Does the sunny character of 2014 herald an opulent white wine?

Not necessarily: the description emphasizes a balance between aromatic concentration and great freshness. This vintage may therefore suit you if you’re looking for an expressive white wine without sacrificing elegance.

Is this cuvée a good choice for discovering an ancient Jura grape variety?

Yes, it is made exclusively from Melon Queue Rouge, an ancient Jura variety. It offers a chance to explore this grape without blending, in an expression described as pure, precise, and full of vitality.

What should I look for in the glass to appreciate Jacques Puffeney’s style?

Pay attention to how the aromatic expression is balanced by freshness. Precision, purity, and vitality are the qualities highlighted in this cuvée, rather than sheer power.

Can I choose this Melon Queue Rouge as an equivalent to Fabrice Dodane’s Arbois Savagnin?

It’s better to consider it as a different avenue for discovery: this cuvée is made from Melon Queue Rouge, not Savagnin. Without tasting notes for Fabrice Dodane’s wine, we can’t say that their profiles are similar.

What occasion should I open this bottle for?

It’s well suited to a tasting with enthusiasts curious about the Jura’s ancient grape varieties. Its stated balance of concentration, elegance, and freshness offers a starting point for discussing the wine, without focusing solely on its unusual grape variety.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
