Current status

Approaching readiness for full enjoyment

Current condition

The wine is developing complexity but still retains freshness and vibrancy typical of young Jura Savagnin.

Thanks to typical Jura terroir and the grape’s natural high acidity, this wine ages gracefully, evolving from fresh fruit to more nuanced oxidative and nutty aromas often prized in mature Savagnin wines from Arbois.

Food pairing

Pairs exceptionally well with traditional Jura cuisine such as Comté cheese, mushroom dishes, roasted poultry, and local charcuterie. Also good with seafood that has a bit of fat like trout or salmon.
