Wine rated 14/20 (2015 vintage) (A good wine)

Rated estate (2020 guide) Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more of its wines, though we are unable to offer a general assessment of the style of its entire range)

About the estate:

Éric and Bérengère Thill farm their 5 hectares organically to produce a range of wines made exclusively from single grape varieties: staying true to his Alsatian roots, Éric offers a varietal interpretation of the Jura’s terroirs, particularly those in the south. The results lack consistency, with the wines marketed as “natural” sometimes exhibiting notes of oxidation.
