Wine Details
Same Plot. Older Vines. A Different Depth.
Same place, different voice. Le Noyer in Rotalier, rooted in limestone, clay, and blue marl. But here, the vines were planted in 1922. Over a century old. Roots that reach deeper, pulling something quieter, more profound from the soil.
The nose is restrained at first, then slowly unfolds. Lime, citrus oil, a fine mineral thread, all wrapped in a gentle smokiness. There’s a calm intensity to it. Nothing rushed. Everything considered.
On the palate, it sharpens into something almost architectural. Chiselled, crystalline, perfectly defined. The fruit sits tightly within the structure, framed by a saline edge and a long, linear acidity. There’s power here, but it’s delivered with control and precision.
This feels complete. The kind of wine that doesn’t need to prove anything.
The Plot
Le Noyer lies in Rotalier in the Jura, on limestone, clay, and blue marl soils that naturally drive tension and salinity. This cuvée comes from vines planted in 1922, now over 100 years old. With such deep root systems, the vineyard delivers fruit of remarkable concentration, precision, and quiet intensity.
Technical
100% Savagnin from organically farmed vines planted in 1922 in Rotalier in the Jura, rooted in limestone, clay, and blue marl. Although grown in Jura, the wine is made in Meursault and bottled as Vin de France, allowing complete freedom in style.
In the cellar, the approach remains unchanged. Whole bunches are pressed long and firmly to extract maximum lees, with controlled oxidation only at this early stage. Fermentation takes place in custom 456-litre barrels for both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, keeping oak influence subtle and the focus on the vineyard. From pressing to bottling, the wine is protected with nitrogen, preserving its tension, energy, and precise, linear profile.
