The colour is deep gold. On the nose banana, nuts and butter. In the mouth not very fresh and fading. Not much aftertaste.
This wine is made in Arbois by Domaine Martin Faudot with Melon à Queue Rouge grapes.
Melon à Queue Rouge is a mutation of Chardonnay, which was found in the French region of Jura. There is no relation to the Melon de Bourgogne variety. The name rouge is not derived from the colour of the berries, which are white, but from the reddish coloured trunk.
Arbois in located in the eastern part of France and is the Jura wine region’s most-prolific appellation. The shop of Domaine Martin Faudot is one of the three I visited in Arbois during my summer holidays. I left upset with myself for letting the salesperson trick me. After tasting a few wines, I decided to buy two bottles to take home. Not only he sold me a different vintage than the one I tasted, he also charged me 2 EUR extra a bottle, with the argument that they were older vintages. I find this behaviour outrageous, but at the end it was my fault. I should not have bought any wine from such a crook.
For this bottle I paid 17 EUR at the winery, although it sells for 15 EUR (see the reason above).

The colour is medium ruby. On the nose barnyard and vinaigrette typical of natural wines. With some air, some more pleasant aromas of black cherries, liquorice and chilli pepper appear, but you have to sniff carefully to find them. In the mouth light and acidic. Not much aftertaste worth mentioning. Continue reading “Siccagno 2019”
