The Story
Still organic white Côtes du Jura, produced by Domaine Pignier. 13% ABV, 100% Savagnin, 2016 vintage. A Vin Jaune that tells the story of a unique terroir, with an aging process that makes it unmistakable. The French Revolution forced the monks into exile. Their cellar and vineyards were sold to our family as national property in 1794. Aged in 228-liter oak barrels under a layer of yeast for six and a half years, without topping up or racking, to develop its powerful nutty and spicy flavors. Fine and powerful, with notes of dried fruit (walnuts) and citrus. Golden yellow. Powerful and elegant, smooth wine with nutty notes and a lovely finish.
