The Good, the Bad, and the Wet? Didier Grappe’s Savagnin 2020 is anything but shy. Bursting with nice acidity, it’ yeasty and tangy as expected. Quince, sweet red apple, and citrus fruits, with light floral notes that emerge with some aeration. Not very freaky. The reductive nose dissipates quickly, leaving behind a wine that’s salty, tangy, and very enjoyable. His Chardonnay 2020, however, tells a different story: Brett taint. This is far from “mild reduction.” The barnyard nose lingers stubbornly for two full days without budging. It’s disconcerting, overwhelming, and it ruins the wine. And then there’s the Wet. Bornard’s Poulsard, from old vineyards and also zero-zero, delivers crunchy red fruit, a touch of fizz, and… wet dog. The acidity is moderate, balanced by a pleasant mineral touch. Nothing crazy. But the wet dog note dominates, and the unmistakable mark of TCA steals the show. #jurawines #savagnin #jurachardonnay #winestagram #winetalk
