Current condition

Fresh with developing complexity and typical oxidative notes

Les Viandris is a terroir-driven cuvée made from old-vine Savagnin grapes grown in Pupillin’s limestone soils, known for oxidative-style whites. 2019 vintage was ripe with balanced acidity and phenolics, supporting longer aging than average Jura whites. This wine’s structure and vintage quality allow a slow evolution that rewards cellaring from early to late 2020s.

Food pairing

Pairs well with aged Comté cheese, roasted poultry, mushroom risotto, and dishes with richer, creamy sauces.
