Description
A rare Vin Jaune (Yellow wine) . 100% Savagnin aged in 228l barrels for 7 years under a yeast flor. After this time, around one-third of the wine evaporates, the reason behind the unique 620ml clavelin bottle. A superb vin jaune with wonderful richness and beguiling aromas of walnuts, spice, curry leaf and dried fruit.
Le Clos des Grives is a legendary Jura domaine and the very first to be certified organic in the region way back in 1968. Today there are 4 hectares of prime south/southwest facing vines growing in marl limestone at 330-350m above sea level, all harvested by hand and made into no less than 10 different cuvées.
