In the glass
Aroma: hazelnut, walnut
Palate: hazelnut, walnut
Savagnin blanc and Savagnin jaune interplanted in the En Boivin parcel, five years under the veil. Pignier says its cool cellars give the veil fineness and complexity, and the wine develops the hazelnut and walnut register typical of the Jura without tipping into oxidation.
What it pairs with
-
Comte
Five years of veil ageing is built for hard mountain cheese. -
Chicken with morels
The nut register of a sous voile Savagnin is the classic match. -
Walnut salad
The wine's own hazelnut and walnut notes carry straight into the dish.
