Description
A
magnificent Savagnin ‘ouillé’ from the Sainte Marie
estate in the Côtes du Jura appellation! … Crisp, pure citrus notes complemented by floral notes (lime blossom, chamomile). A hint of Chardonnay that carries through on the palate with a crisp attack, showcasing tension and minerality. A real delight to (re)discover the Savagnin grape variety in a non-oxidative style!
In the vineyard, in the cellar
Terroirs of Les Normois and Arlay, south-facing, sheltered slopes and terraces above the Seille. A thin layer of clay-limestone soil over exposed blue marl, with fossils of belemnites and encrine roots. The Savagnin grape produces berries with thick skins and very acidic juice.
The Savagnin grape variety, used on its own, is vinified in temperature-controlled vats and spends 12 months in topped-up casks on fine lees.
