I recently tried the 2012 Trois Cépages.

I have to be honest I was expecting not to like it despite buying the whole line-up out of curiosity and to make sure I did not miss out if the wines turned out to be excellent.

Despite being overpriced for a new producer in the region and just a tad to clean for my tastes it was an overall enjoyable bottle of wine.

Initially the Poulsard dominates eventually succumbing to the Pinot characteristics.

Nothing mind-blowing just a very enjoyable wine.

I am sure they will have no problem selling these through their normal channels at slightly above average prices for the region.

That's some buying strategy = "Buy first, ask questions later."

I'm glad it (sort of) worked out.

Well I do trust Ian McFadden and he had tasted the wines.

I tried the lineup recently and thought the wines were promising. I liked the red, pretty much as you say.

And it isn't like the producer has never made decent wine, albeit not in the Jura.

I bought all of them to try as well. Thanks for the feedback.

I've had the 2012 Savagnin and thought it very good.

Tried the Chardonnay tonight. Fantastic wine. Possibly too much oak for many Jura fans. If I compare it to Burgundy it is an excellent wine and value.
