A wonderfully open and expressive blend of Chardonnay and Savagnin. 2022 had an uncommonly warm and dry growing season, the most generous vintage in recent memory and one which was much needed in these parts. Reflecting this, the wine is full of ripe fruit aplenty sitting alongside citrus, stones and spice.
A blend of equal parts of Chardonnay and Savagnin from three parcels in Arbois, Molamboz and Montigny-lès-Arsures. Half is pressed directly, whilst the remainder is destemmed and added to the vat to infuse for three weeks before being pressed off to cuve for a year of rest. Electric, pure and expressive.
Amélie and Sébastien are producing some of the most vibrant and exciting wines in the Jura. Both natives of the region, between them they have worked with some of the region's great vignerons- Brignot, Bornard, Overnoy and Tissot. So, it’s safe to say they have learned from some of the best. They have just over one hectare of vines spread over tiny parcels around their home in Molamboz, as well as in Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures. Their work is focused on having the utmost respect for nature, with biodiversity being cherished and treatments rarely being used. They work the soil by horseback, while in the cellar work is gentle with no temperature control and using gravity alone to move the wine from vessel to vessel. In doing this, they are creating wines that are as true an expression of place as possible. Wines of this kind of purity don’t come along every day.
