About the wine
Tasting notes
Oxidative, complex and incredibly fresh Vin Jaune Savagnin from one of the Jura’s most sought after producers. These are always true to the Jura in flavour and in style with high acidity and length of flavour on the palate. Meadow, grilled almonds, white flowers and than big burst of saline and texture on the finish.

Savagnin
A white grape variety with a home in the Jura, France, and is responsible for wines of great purity, complexity and uniqueness. When made as a dry white, the wines are floral and aromatic with citrus, apples, chewy stonefruit, salinity with a hint of tropicals, but it can also become wildly complex when made in an oxidative manner and develops delicious nutty, mineral and sherry-like notes unlike anything else in the world. Vin Jaune is a heavily oxidative expression of Savagnin and is becoming a highly sought after and age worthy style for collectors. It might be illegal to have this wine without a generous slab of Comté cheese...
