Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, it reflects the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West. A rare French white grape variety once cultivated in the South-West.

The wine region of Château-Chalon

Ultra-exclusive Jura AOC (~60 ha, 250–400 m, steep south-west slopes, Liassic clay-limestone marls): exclusive Savagnin in the signature amber vin jaune — penetrating aromas of walnut, apple, candied fruits, curry (sotolon), gentle spices and saline minerality, exceptionally persistent finish. Aged under voile for at least 6 years 3 months in unsealed barrels, bottled in a 62 cl clavelin. Near-centennial longevity, Benedictine heritage.

The wine region of Jura

Unique Franche-Comté region between Burgundy and Switzerland, incomparable oxidative identity. Signature mythical Vin Jaune from Savagnin: aged 6 years 3 months in cask under flor, intense whites with signature green walnut, curry, cumin, russet apple, honey and lingering iodine — 62 cl clavelin, century-long ageing. Also classic topped-up Chardonnay (citrus, butter), pale light Poulsard red (strawberry, undergrowth), dense Trousseau, fine Pinot Noir. Sweet Vin de Paille.
