Deep lemon in the glass. Nose is not jumping out of the glass, but has all the elements of Savagnin nonetheless - roasted almonds/walnuts, sea salt, dried apricot, some dried meadow flowers, bit of bruised apple. Lovely in the mouth, still very much alive and expressive. Acidity is moderate and superbly balanced with the alcohol. Long, saline finish. Textbook, historical stuff. Get your Comte out, grab a few friends, go for a picnic and enjoy life.

This is a light bodied natural white wine.

About Domaine de la Renardière

The village of Pupillin plays host to Domaine de la Renardière, where Jean-Michel Petit quietly crafts some of Jura’s finest wines. Since establishing the domaine in 1990, Jean-Michel has built his 7.5 hectares into a haven for both red and white varietals, with a lineup of equal parts red (Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Trousseau) and white (mostly Chardonnay with a bit of Savagnin). Jean-Michel has been farming organically since 2003, earning full certification in 2012 - an important commitment to the vineyard. In the cellar, he keeps things rooted in tradition: native yeasts kickstart fermentation and sulfur is only used sparingly when needed, and élevage takes place in a mix of foudres for reds and a blend of older barriques and foudres for whites. The result? Wines that are vibrant, soulful, and unmistakably Jura.
