Benedicte & Stephane Tissot - Savagnin Sous Voile 2019 (750ml)
The 2019 Arbois Savagnin is a captivating white wine from the heart of Jura, France. Aged for 36 months under a veil of yeast ("sous voile"), this unique wine strikes a delicate balance between the nutty richness of a Vin Jaune and the vibrant fruitiness of a young Savagnin.
Grown on clay soils, which are naturally resistant to bacteria, the Savagnin grape is the perfect candidate for oxidative winemaking without fortification. This results in a wine with a complex and intriguing flavor profile, reminiscent of a Manzanilla Sherry but without the added alcohol. The 2019 vintage, known for its ripe and complex character, reveals a wine that is both delicate and full of depth.
This Arbois Savagnin is a testament to the passion and dedication of the winemakers, who have meticulously crafted a wine that expresses the unique terroir of the Jura region. With its intriguing balance of flavors and aromas, this "baby Vin Jaune" is a must-try for any adventurous wine lover.
