Note di degustazione
The small bottles of ouillé Savagnin that they also call vieux Savagnin are really magical, perhaps even more so in the case of the 2010 Arbois Pupillin Savagnin Ouillé, also closed with yellow wax. It is super complex, with notes of spiced apples, yellow flowers and a dense, penetrating, pungent and intense palate. I always find some (sometimes a lot!) of flor character in these wines that spend a long time in barrel in the cellar, and they explained that even if you keep the barrels topped up, the character of the yeasts always finds its way into the wine. Funnily enough, Manu commented that he found it less oxidative that day. It is vibrant, with a touch of volatility that lifted up the wine, with a salty twist in the finish. It was bottled in 2020 after 10 years in barrel. This should drink well forever...

The 2010 Arbois Pupillin Vieux Savagnin Ouillé (50-cl bottle, yellow wax) initially focuses on complex mushroom aromatics. As is often the case with these small-format bottles, time is the remedy. Within 30 minutes, the wine shifts up a few gears; the mushroomy characters fade and allow flashes of bruised apple, beeswax, iodine and hay to soar from the glass. After ten years in barrel, the 2010 is a gorgeously complex Vieux Savagnin Ouillé that wraps up with exceptional length and delicious salty bitterness.
