Description
The 2021 Arbois Savagnin Ouillé from Domaine Fumey Chatelain is a dry white wine made from the Savagnin grape. Unlike the traditional Jura yellow wines, this wine is “ouillé,” meaning the barrel is regularly topped up to avoid oxidation. This winemaking style allows the Savagnin grape to reveal its purity, freshness, and finesse, without the oxidative notes typically associated with yellow wines. This wine captures the authentic expression of the Arbois terroir while showcasing the lively acidity and minerality typical of the grape variety.
Blend
This wine is made from 100% Savagnin. The “ouillé” method preserves the wine’s freshness and primary aromas while providing tension and elegance. The clay-limestone soils of Arbois and the specific climatic conditions of 2021 bring acidity and a pronounced minerality to this vintage.
Tasting notes
Color: The wine has a bright pale yellow color with green highlights, indicating its youth and freshness.
Nose: The nose is expressive and intense, revealing aromas of citrus, green apple, and pear, along with floral and subtle herbaceous notes. Mineral nuances reminiscent of flint and chalk, typical of Jura wines grown on limestone soils, also emerge.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is lively and taut, with a crisp acidity supporting the citrus and white fruit flavors. The minerality is prominent, offering a chalky texture and interesting depth. The Savagnin Ouillé presents a precise and elegant mouthfeel, with a long, saline finish that leaves a refreshing sensation. It is both fresh and structured, ideal for lovers of taut, mineral-driven white wines.
Aging potential
The 2021 Arbois Savagnin Ouillé can be enjoyed young for its fresh, fruity aromas but also has good aging potential of 5 to 8 years. Over time, it will develop more complex aromas of dried fruits, soft spices, and honey while retaining its vivacity and minerality.
Food pairings
Seafood: Oysters, mussels in white wine, scallops.
Grilled or sauced fish: Sea bass, dorado, or turbot.
White meats: Roast chicken, veal, guinea fowl in creamy sauces.
Cheeses: Regional Jura cheeses like Comté, Morbier, Beaufort.
Vegetarian dishes: Fresh salads, creamy mushroom risottos, vegetable quiches.
