Wine Details
This is not the kind of Savagnin that bursts through the door waving its arms around. At first, it is restrained. Yellow apple, hay, flint, a little cool stone, and that quietly savoury Jura edge sitting in the background. It does not give everything away at once, which is exactly the point.
Then it begins to move…
The palate is medium-bodied, precise and gently grippy, with a clean line of acidity running through it. There is old-vine depth here, but not heaviness. It feels structured, calm and quietly serious, with the kind of mineral tension that keeps pulling the wine forward.
Not immediate. Not obvious. But absolutely one to watch.
A first-vintage Savagnin with old-vine depth, Jura tension and real promise.
Technical
This comes from old Savagnin vines in L’Étoile, rooted in clay-limestone soils. Fermentation is with natural yeasts in stainless steel, before ageing in old barrels with no new oak. Nothing is dressed up or pushed too hard here. The style is clean, precise and deliberately restrained, letting the old vines, cool mineral edge and natural structure of Savagnin do the talking.
