Aux Bois explores a generous yet deeply mineral expression of Savagnin, rooted in marl soils mixed with limestone scree and crafted here in a topped-up, non-oxidative style. Following whole-cluster pressing and fermentation with indigenous yeasts, the wine spends 22 months in seasoned 300-litre barrels, developing complexity without being marked by new oak. Ripe citrus, yellow fruit and dried fruit mingle with smoky and saline nuances on a fleshy, energetic and persistent palate, firmly driven by Savagnin’s natural acidity.
The sommelier info
Savagnin Aux Bois offers a complex aromatic profile where ripe citrus meets yellow fruits and dried fruits, with a mineral dimension that immediately adds depth. A few spicier nuances emerge with aeration, highlighting the variety’s assertive character.
The palate is full-bodied and rich, yet this richness is consistently balanced by the Savagnin’s natural acidity. The wine thus gains depth without becoming heavy, then gradually tightens around a mineral and salty framework. The long, lively finish confirms the character of this Jura white, perfectly suited for the table.
