"A delicate marriage between an aged Savagnin and a Chardonnay, delicate and typical!"
"A typically atypical cuvée, with 80% Savagnin (part of which is under veil) and 20% Chardonnay from the 2015 and 2016 harvests. After a little aeration, the wine develops its bouquet of citrus fruit and flint, with a lovely spicy roundness on the palate matched by a sapid, energetic finish." (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve)

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.
