What the Critics are saying:  "This is a new Vin Jaune from the Curon terroir next to the La Tour de Curon on Lias clay soils. The 2017 Curon Vin Jaune had been open for a week when I tasted it, and Stéphane Tissot thinks the character of the terroir is more evident after the wine has been open for a few days (or even better, after years in bottle!). However, the warm character of the warm year and the low yields delivered after the frost showed a wine that was smokier and peatier than expected, pungent and powerful, like a version of Trias soils with more finesse. It will be very interesting to see this wine in the coming years ... and the previous ones, as he still has three barrels of 2015 and 2016 still unbottled. He compared the finesse of this wine to that of the Château Chalon!" 96/100, Luis Gutiérrez, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Aug 8th 2024
