"A true Jura treasure with exceptional ageing potential!
"The 2016 vin jaune is animated by a smoky character. The material is alert, clear, elegant, rather light for an Arbois yellow, even showing a certain thinness in the mid-palate." (Le Guide RVF 2024). Discover it today, when it expresses youth and exuberance, or wait 15 years.

About the wine:
The 2016 yellow wine is animated by a compelling smoky character. The material is alert, clear, elegant, rather light for an Arbois yellow, even showing a certain thinness on the mid-palate.
About the domain :
This vast estate in the communes of Arbois and Pupillin was founded by the Burgundian Roger Martin, who, by planting 14 hectares of Savagnin in the 1950s, made it the largest vineyard in the Jura devoted to this grape variety. Today, Pierre, his son, and Vincent, his grandson, are in charge. Organic viticulture has been practiced here since 1999, and biodynamic since 2009. Many older vintages are still available at low prices.
