Tasting notes

Opening the 1921 Château-Chalon by Jean Bourdy is like unlocking a time capsule from the Jura region. This Vin Jaune holds a timeless presence, akin to the eternal beauty of Yang Guifei. It embodies the essence of the Jura, a masterpiece that defies the passage of time.

In 'Drops of God' Volume 27, this wine is chosen by Ichisei as a substitute for aged Taiwanese Shaoxing wine. Crafted in France's Jura, it captivates drinkers with its legendary allure, much like a timeless beauty whose story is told across ages.

Pour it into a glass, and you'll see a deep golden hue, glowing like an ancient gem. The nose is rich with notes of nuts, dried fruits, and a hint of spice. On the palate, a vibrant acidity intertwines with the rounded maturity from its age, creating a long and complex finish. This bottle truly feels like a sip of eternity.
