About this product


The Jura wine region is small in size but large in its remarkable diversity. It covers 80 kilometers between Burgundy and Switzerland, in the eastern France. The Arbois AOC is the oldest and largest of the Jura's four geographic AOCs. In particular, it was France's first AOC (created in 1937). Its name originates in the Celtic words "ar" and "bois" that mean "fertile land".
100% Savagnin, the only vine variety authorized for this wine is a typical Jura variety, flourishing on its grey marl and ripening slowly. This demanding, patient vine variety is the best type for Vin Jaune.
The wine’s long maturation in oak barrels helps achieve its wonderful deep, limpid golden colour. Its very intense nose contains a range of aromas: cooked apple, curry, saffron and walnut. The mouthfeel has a lively, powerful and well-formed attack. The mouthfeel confirms the aromas on the nose, providing a remarkable range of flavours: fresh walnut, curry, green apple, dried fruit and saffron. A grandiose finish.
