In the glass

Medium-bodiedHigh acidityDryLong finish

Aroma: walnut, curry

Palate: walnut, curry

A shorter veil ageing than the domaine's Vin Jaune, two to four years rather than seven, which Bourdy says gives a bright yellow robe with golden glints and an assertive Jura character of walnut and curry at a lighter 13 percent.

What it pairs with

  • Comte
    The wine's walnut register is built for hard mountain cheese.
  • Escargots
    Garlic and parsley butter is the Jura standard for a young sous voile Savagnin.
  • Roast chicken
    Enough savour for poultry without the weight of a full Vin Jaune.
