This wine comes from blue-grey marls, and has been aged for two years under a veil of yeast, in four to five year old barrels. From 30hh yields, it has wonderful mushroomy, hazlenutty flavours, nicely relieved by the savagnin’s characteristic acidity. For drinking now to 2016.

44 Arbois Vin Jaune AC 1999
Jacques PuffeneyGrape:100% Savagnin (14% alc.)
Vin Jaune is the Jura region’s real speciality, from late-harvested savagnin – pressed and then aged under a yeast veil in older oak for six years, then assembled and aged in foudre for a further year. It is bottled (naturally, without filtration) in a distinctive ‘clavelin’ with a long neck and hunched shoulders – which holds 62cl – the amount of one litre of wine that is said to remain after six years of evaporation. Superb with rich, creamy dishes, it has a flavour not dissimilar to an aged amontillado sherry, with walnut and truffley tones. For drinking now to 2100.
