Savagnin de Voile

The spicy aromas of this vintage accompanies perfectly tradition Jura dishes such as cream morels, but also oriental cuisine and dishes based on curry, safron, ginger, chilli…

100 % savagnin on grey marl soils.

This Savagnin is kept under its veil (barrels are not topped), as is the case for Vin Jaune, for about 3  or 5 years.

• Very much the Vin Jaune ‘s little brother.
• This vintage stems for the yearly selective sorting of the ageing Vin Jaune barrels. Only a third of the barrels which are never topped with have the character to endure the 7 years ageing to become Vin Jaune. The other barrels will be assembled to create the Savagnin de voile.
• Return of 30 to 35 hl/ha
• Hand harvest and strong selection during harvest.
• Pneumatic press for gentle extraction on whole clusters of grapes.
• Indigenous yeasts
• Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in tanks .
• Ageing for 3 years in old barrel without sulfur and topping up.
• Bottling according to Maria Thun’s lunar calendar.
