Pierre Girardin - VDF Savagnin "Le Chataignier"

This Savagnin from the ‘Le Châtaignier’ vineyard is grown on a 1959 vineyard. 

Jura is the new Burgundy, or should I say the old one. The atmosphere, the soils, nature and the feeling Pierre Girardin got there was magic. Rotalier is a well-known village of South Revermont, surrounded by hills planted in vines, luxurious flora and small, charming wine villages, similar soil as Côte de Beaune with limestone. The start of a new adventure.

Pierrre followed the same approach as in Burgundy, a single plot, a single lieu-dit, a unique wine! The Jura project was no longer a one shot but definitely the beginning of a new story for the Domaine.

This Savagnin from the ‘Le Châtaignier’ vineyard is grown on a 1959 vineyard. The nose seduces with its floral and mineral notes, with an aromatic intensity rarely found in non-Burgundy whites. On the palate, the structure is full and round, with a beautiful freshness that gives it a racy elegance. This complete wine seduces with its depth and energy, reflecting Pierre-Vincent's expertise. This cuvée is ideal for lovers of atypical white wines, off the beaten track, who know how to combine Burgundian tradition with Jura audacity.
