Description
Henri Maire “Ussy-le-Vif” 1982 – Côtes du Jura
Henri Maire’s Ussy-le-Vif 1982 is an iconic Jura cuvée from a vintage now rich in history and depth. Crafted in accordance with traditional Jura methods, this mature wine fully expresses the mark of time and the distinctive character of the Côtes du Jura terroirs. At advanced maturity, it offers an authentic, serene and deeply expressive profile.
The colour shows a deep golden hue with amber and copper highlights, reflecting long and deliberate ageing. The nose is complex and intense, revealing aromas of walnut, dried fruits, ripe apple and beeswax, alongside forest floor, mushroom, gentle spices and wet stone notes. A noble, well-integrated oxidative character highlights the wine’s unmistakable Jura style.
On the palate, the wine is broad, dry and structured, with a dense and enveloping texture. Flavours of walnut, dried fruits, baked apple and saline notes unfold with coherence and depth. The balance between aromatic richness and lingering freshness is remarkable. The finish is very long, leaving an impression of character, authenticity and calm maturity.
A demanding yet fascinating mature Jura wine — ideal for knowledgeable enthusiasts seeking emotion, complexity and a true expression of time and place.
