Caveau du Val de l'Amour Côtes du Jura Chardonnay/Savagnin 2020

Sylvain Jacquot tends just 1.5ha of vineyards around Arbois, farming a cluster of organic, old-vine plots (between 40- and 100-years-old) he inherited from his father. Sylvain uses the region's traditional grape varieties – Chardonnay and Savagnin for whites and Pinot Noir, Poulsard, and Trousseau for his reds – to craft a spectrum of wine styles. Fermented spontaneously and made oxidatively, his Savagnin is intense and tangy, with yellow apple and salty mineral inflections. Pass the Comté for this baby Vin Jaune!
