PVG Les Noyer Savagnin, 2023

For anyone who thinks Jura Savagnin means sherry-like and challenging: this one is made the Burgundy way, in barrel and kept fresh, from 60-year-old vines on limestone.

Le Noyer is a single walled vineyard at 470 metres in Rotalier, with Savagnin vines over 60 years old on limestone and clay. Pierre-Vincent Girardin, a young Meursault winemaker, takes the grapes back to his Burgundy cellar and makes them like his own whites. Wild yeast, barrels about half new, no fining or filtering. Citrus peel and stone fruit with a salty, shell-like edge.
