Wine:
The 2020 White Côtes du Jura Antide Savagnin is a green Savagnin grown on marl and schist, aged for four years on the lees with no added sulphur. Brilliantly fresh on the nose, it reveals a zesty, razor-sharp structure that’s equally intense and richly textured. Expect flavours of nuts, almond, and ripe yellow fruit with real depth. A wine of superb intensity and focus.

Nose:
Ripe citrus fruits, spices, almonds, mineral.
Palate:
Straight, taut, long, with a salty finish, combining finesse and intensity.
Temperature:
Serve between 10 and 12°C.
