A story of wine, patience, and the veil
Domaine Rolet and the Savagnin grape
In the Jura region of France, there is a grape that is as demanding as it is rewarding. The Savagnin grape is a late-ripening variety that is often associated with oxidative ageing under a film of yeast known as the voile or veil. This process gives the wine a unique flavor profile that is characterized by notes of nuts, honey, and dried fruit.
The 2019 Ouillé Savagnin Arbois
One of the best examples of a Savagnin wine is the 2019 Ouillé Savagnin Arbois from Domaine Rolet. This wine is made from 100% Savagnin grapes that are grown in the Arbois appellation. The wine is fermented and aged in oak barrels for 18 months, and then it is bottled unfined and unfiltered. The result is a complex and nuanced wine that has a long finish.
The 2019 Ouillé Savagnin Arbois is a must-try for any fan of white wine. It is a wine that is full of character and personality, and it is sure to impress even the most discerning palate.
