The grapes
Savagnin
Best known in Jura
The grape behind the Jura's famous Vin Jaune. Nutty, salty and intense, often aged under a layer of yeast for a distinctive sherry-like character. Fresh, topped-up versions also exist, with bright acidity, apple and a stony, mineral finish.
Where it's from
Jura
France
A small, quirky region in eastern France, between Burgundy and Switzerland. Famous for Vin Jaune, aged under a veil of yeast, plus savoury Savagnin, light Poulsard and Trousseau reds and fine Crémant du Jura. Cult wines with a devoted following among sommeliers. Unique and often unforgettable.
