Description
The 2008 Côtes du Jura Savagnin from Domaine Berthet Bondet is a quintessential white wine from the Jura region, renowned for its unique character and depth. Made exclusively from the Savagnin grape variety, this wine showcases the distinct terroir of Château-Chalon, a region with a continental climate and rich clay and limestone soils, which lend a strong minerality and aromatic complexity to the wine.
Aged under voile (a layer of yeast), this wine follows a traditional winemaking method specific to the Jura, where the wine ages in barrels without topping up. This process develops the characteristic oxidative notes that define wines from this region.
Blend
100% Savagnin, a grape that thrives in the Jura and is known for its distinctive aromatic profile and excellent aging potential. The wine is aged under a veil of yeast, which imparts the unique oxidative qualities that make this style so iconic.
Tasting notes
Color: Deep golden, almost amber, with bright reflections, a testament to the wine’s age and its aging under voile.
Nose: The nose is complex and expressive, offering aromas of walnut, dried fruits (hazelnut, almond), with hints of curry, mild spices, and dried mushrooms. Oxidative notes, typical of wines aged under voile, blend harmoniously with baked apple and dried flower aromas.
Palate: The palate is rich and powerful, with a solid structure. The flavors of walnut and spices are extended by a vibrant acidity that balances the wine’s richness. The long and persistent finish carries notes of salinity and minerality, revealing the wine’s significant aging potential. As it evolves on the palate, the wine’s depth unfolds with layered and evolving flavors.
Aging potential
This wine has excellent aging potential, easily lasting 10 to 20 years or more. Thanks to its aging under voile and the nature of the Savagnin grape, it will continue to develop more intense and refined aromas over time.
Food pairings
Traditional Jura dishes such as chicken with vin jaune, pike quenelles, or morel mushrooms in cream.
Fatty fish like salmon or trout, as well as grilled shellfish.
Aged cheeses, especially old Comté, Beaufort, or Gruyère, which will enhance the wine’s complex flavors.
It can also complement exotic dishes with mild spices, such as light curries or coconut-based dishes.
