A beautiful vibrant purple red colour, on the nose this shows a heady perfume of violets, mulberry, and liquorice, followed by those classic sandalwood and cigar box aromas. The plate is beautifully poised between elegance and power. Cassis, mulberries and plums swim across the palate, joined by chocolate and vanilla. Silky tannins coat the mouth, finishing a wine of denseness and elegance. Amazing complexity to be found here.

Aromas of blackberry, blueberry and herbal notes are accented by cardamom, liquorice, and floral nuances. Velvety with remarkable balance and freshness, and layers of ripe dark fruit, savoury undertones and a saline edge.

Matured for 18 months in wooden casks the Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2024 is made with wines from ten different parcels, shows a deep color and a refined, expressive nose of black cherry, wild berries and violets, with notes of rockrose, redcurrant, subtle spice and a hint of cocoa. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with firm yet polished tannins, balanced acidity and remarkable purity of fruit. Precise and harmonious in structure, it is lifted by a mineral freshness that brings definition and poise. The finish is long, persistent and elegant, revealing great depth, delicate hints of dried flowers and clear ageing potential.

The wine shows a deep, brilliant crimson with a vibrant purple core, and there an abundance of aroma nuances: cassis, blackcurrants, violets, masses of dark plummy fruit, accompanied by a hint of dark chocolate and a hint of  herbs. On the palate, vanilla and cedar develops into an enveloping, rich dark currant and coca body. This is very textured and polished, with silky tannins and a long and exceptional finish.

Multi-layered, complex and moreish, with rich and unctuous red fruits and a coating of black forest liquorice, all balanced by a slither of saline minerality and graphite. The effect is one of commanding majesty.

From an east-facing site to the south of Arbois with Trias clay soil. Stéphane always highlights the characteristically peaty character of this wine, which reminds him of Islay whisky. It is the most rounded and expressive of his Vin Jaune wines, with an open and floral nose, subtle nutty hints and plenty of peaty iodine.

This comes from Trias clay soils in the Arbois appellation. It undergoes a 30+ month élevage in both warm and cold cellars without topping up and a thin layer of flor forms on top the the wine ("sous voile") resulting in complex, salty, nutty, sherry-like flavours. The wines has an aromatic and floral expression with a lovely mid-palate weight.

Unlike the Savagnin barrels that go into the production of vin jaune and Château-Chalon, these barrels are topped up regularly, protecting the wine from developing the characteristic oxidative notes of those wines. This is fresh and vibrant with so much complexity and saline minerality. It's aged for two years in barrel before bottling, giving it time to build layer upon layer of complexity.

This sparkling wine from Jura stalwart is a great aperitif onto his style. It brims with energy, but behind the initial fizz there is something really quite interesting going on here. It is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and a dash of Jura's indigenous varieties, Poulsard and Trousseau. Its name refers to the use of only natural ingredients in its winemaking: primary fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and secondary fermentation initiated by the addition of Stéphane's own liqueur de tirage, made from the domaine’s own, fermenting straw wine. There is a vinous character running through the palate.
