With his "Les Nouvelles 2022" cuvée, Philippe Chatillon, former director of Domaine de la Pinte and now an independent winemaker, continues to precisely and sincerely express the great terroirs of the Jura, which he has cultivated organically since his beginnings. This 100% Savagnin, from the Arbois appellation, offers a refined interpretation of a grape variety often characterized by oxidative notes, here vinified "ouillé" (fully topped up).
The grapes, grown on Jurassic marl, are directly pressed and then ferment naturally, without the addition of yeasts or other inputs. Two years of aging in old barrels, under "ouillage" (keeping the barrels topped up), allows the wine to develop beautiful complexity without any oxidative notes, in a taut and digestible style. No corrections, no masking: this Savagnin is a pure expression of its place and its vintage.
Upon tasting, the color is clear, golden with green reflections. The nose entices with its floral finesse (white flower, lime blossom), discreet brioche notes, and clear aromas of white peach and chalky minerality. On the palate, it is taut, straight, dry, with a superb length and a saline, almost vibrant finish that calls for food.
A gastronomic wine, it will pair perfectly with freshwater fish, Jura cheeses (aged Comté, Morbier), or exotic and spicy dishes. Serve slightly decanted to allow it to fully open up. Guaranteed to age for 5 to 10 years.
