Tasting Notes
Jura Savagnin is often a unique mix of powerful stonefruit, countered by citrus and acidity. Saint Pierre gives you this classic Jura intensity. Love the vibrancy brought by the citrus and salty (think minerality) hints. 14% alc. Plenty of years left here. - Michael L
This is made as in the ouillé style wine meaning it is topped off, as opposed to other Jura whites that are often allowed to oxidize. Mineral driven and smoky with apples, citrus, vanilla and hazelnuts it is fresh and clean but at the same time , rich. Give it a few hours to open up and don't serve it too cold,a mild chill is fine. Sit back and enjoy the ride. - Importer Note
Domaine de Saint Pierre is the epitome of a top flight Jura Domaine. Fully Owned since 2011 by the charismatic and pragmatic Fabrice Dodane, the tiny six hectares of vineyards are ideally located in the appellation Arbois in villages such as Vadans, Mathenay, Arbois and Pupillin. Far from being new to the wine scene, Fabrice Dodane studied oenology at the Beaune Wine University in Burgundy before taking the reins of the Cooperative of Pupillin. In 1989, Fabrice had the opportunity to manage Domaine de Saint-Pierre. From there, the three hectares have increased to six and the vineyards have been farmed organically since 2002 with biodynamic practices being implemented right after. The result is staggering with wines of great purity displaying with precision the magnificent terroirs of the Jura. - Importer Note
