Esprit 39 Côtes du Jura

Made from the grape variety Savagnin, this style of wine is called "vin jaune", or yellow wine, made in a similar way to dry fino Sherry, with the wine maturing in barrel under a thin film of yeast and developing unique, nutty aromas through this process.
Deep straw yellow in appearance, with an intense, woody bouquet of walnut, shades of hazelnut and vanilla. The palate opens with notes of olive brine and baked apples, with a clear structure and a lingering, moreish acidity. Extremely refreshing, complex, and an ideal partner for white meat and mushroom sauces, as well as its classic partner, Comté cheese.
