Note di degustazione
I also had a very young bottle of the 2015 Vin Jaune, a selection of 62% Savagnin Jaune and 38% Savagnin Vert from different lieux-dits on Lias clay, Charrière, Billat, Cret ... planted between 1945 and 1979. It's a selection of the finest biological barrels, wines matured under a fine veil of flor yeasts for seven years. 2015 produced powerful wines. From the evaporation and concentration, this has 16% alcohol, but it has kept a very low pH, 3.01, denoting vibrant freshness; and even though the acidity is not very high (5.4 grams), the volatility (0.72 grams/liter) might have helped to lift up the wine. It has classical notes of rancid walnuts, curry, celery and dry yellow flowers. The palate is pungent and persistent, with a long and very tasty, almost salty finish. Umami! It was bottled in June 2023.

The smashing 2015 Vin Jaune Côtes du Jura bursts from the glass with saffron, dried ginger, white mushrooms and dried flowers. Walnuts and bread dough add more complexity. Bold and powerful, this is a serious Vin Jaune at 16% alcohol, but the sharp acidity keeps everything neatly balanced. It concludes with a nutty aftertaste on the elongated finish. Keep an eye out for this one.
