Discovering the wine region of Jura
Narrow 80 km French wine strip between Salins and Saint-Amour (~1,850 ha), marl and limestone soils, semi-continental climate. Savagnin is the signature native white: dry and intensely oxidative with green walnut, curry, yellow apple, dried flowers, dried fruits and saline finish, aged under a yeast veil (vin jaune style in the iconic 62 cl clavelin). Chardonnay (50%) as fresh white; light Poulsard and spiced Trousseau as ethereal reds. Crémant, vin de paille, Macvin.
Discover the grape variety: Pinot blanc
Round, supple whites with a soft palate, showing discreet aromas of apple, pear, fresh almond, white flowers and brioche notes. Moderate acidity, light finish. Star of Crémant d'Alsace (fine, taut sparkling) and base of Edelzwicker. Grown in Germany (Weissburgunder, Baden-Württemberg), northern Italy (Pinot Bianco, Alto Adige), Austria and Luxembourg. A white mutation of Pinot Noir.
