The Quiet Abyss of White: Jura's Oxidative Aging

An oxidatively aged white wine made from 100% Savagnin. Aged for four years in barrels without topping up, it develops layered aromas of lemon peel, walnuts, hazelnuts, white flowers, and curry-like spices. On the palate, a crisp acidity forms the core, while roundness and umami expand over time, leaving a subtle bitterness and salinity lingering quietly on the finish. Paired with creamy dishes, aged cheeses, or seafood, its true brilliance comes to life.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
Bright and lustrous in appearance, with a pale yellow hue and golden highlights.
The color is relatively light and transparent.
The initial impression is very aromatic and complex.
Citrus fruits, spices, and floral nuances are present, along with a hint of oak.
As it breathes, it opens up further, revealing aromas of lemon juice and lemon peel,
walnuts and hazelnuts. This is further layered with spicy notes of curry and white pepper,
a delicate aroma reminiscent of a bouquet of white flowers, and nuances from the oak barrel.
The attack is fresh, with a lingering acidity at its core. It gradually transitions to a rounder texture,
and the aromas perceived on the nose richly unfold on the palate, offering an approachable umami.
The finish is refreshing, yet accompanied by a subtle roundness and pleasant bitterness.
