Location: Jura, France
Tasting Notes: Golden yellow color with a slight haze. The nose is complex and aromatic, featuring notes of ripe apple, citrus, almond, and a characteristic nuttiness, along with hints of herbs and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied with vibrant acidity, showcasing flavors of lemon zest, pear, and a distinctive oxidative character that adds depth. The finish is long and mineral-driven, highlighting the wine's elegance and age-worthiness.
Notes: "En Chalasse" is sourced from a specific vineyard site known for its unique terroir and limestone-rich soils. The 2018 vintage is noted for its balance and concentration, with the wine undergoing aging under a veil of yeast (vin de voile) for an extended period, enhancing its complexity. Minimal intervention practices in the winery allow the true expression of the Savagnin grape to shine through.
Food Pairing: Ideal with dishes such as Comté cheese, rich seafood dishes, roasted poultry, or creamy risottos. It also pairs well with dishes featuring mushrooms and herbs.
