Discover the grape variety: Savagnin
Vivid, structured whites with a golden robe, taut mouthfeel and sharp acidity, with aromas of apple, citrus, green walnut, curry, spices and intense oxidative notes (vin jaune aged under a yeast veil) evoking walnut, roasted almond and the distinctive "goût de jaune". The absolute star of Château-Chalon AOC, Arbois AOC, l'Étoile AOC and Côtes du Jura AOC. A very ancient Jurassian autochthon, probable ancestor of many European varieties.

The state of translucency of a wine. A clear wine is not cloudy (which is a defect).
