Current status

Approaching early maturity

Current condition

The wine is showing good development of its oxidative character, vibrant acidity, and complex tertiary notes.

Thanks to the oxidative aging 'Sous Voile' method typical of Jura Savagnin and the 2019 vintage's balanced acidity, this wine has a substantial aging window. It evolves slowly, gaining complexity for over a decade.

Food pairing

Excellent with Comté cheese, mushroom risotto, poultry with creamy sauces, and rich seafood dishes.
