The Savagnin grape variety, specific to the Jura region, thrives in the hills of blue and grey
marls from the lias (Jurassic) and the earlier trias (Mesozoic) eras.
Harvested by hand, Vin Jaune, in order to reach its potential, needs maturing for 6 years without topping up, during which it will acquire its unique taste of walnut, under the effect of a skin of « flor yeast ».
A yellow colour, golden reflections, a thick disk, nice and numerous legs. The first smell is intense and powerful. Aromas of dry fruits and spices abound, a great palette of rich and deeply structured aromas. The second smell is more empyreumatic, mineral and with an air of being roasted with almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, pepper and morels. A powerful attack in which we find acidity. We also recognise the flavours of dry fruits intensified by a touch of roasted coffee.
