Epicure is a Jura Vin de Paille (straw wine), crafted from Chardonnay, Poulsard, and Savagnin grapes. These grapes undergo a drying process lasting around three months - historically done on straw mats - to concentrate their sugars and intensify flavour. After drying, the grapes are pressed, and the resulting wine is matured in barrels for approximately three years before bottling.

Pretty fun. Dried apricot, coffee, a touch of VA. It's quite acidic, slightly fizzy, and clearly they went for lower sugar by upping the alcohol - and I'm not entirely sure that was the best call. Still, it's a tasty, well-made wine with a bit of tannin and some tea-like character. Enjoyable, quirky, but not quite a standout.
