Fromenteau 2020 MAGNUM Producer|Gran CerdoMagnum Bottling! A micro Jura gem coming care of the talented young grower Thomas Jacquin. Thomas is part of the next generation of growers making a name for themselves in the Jura, and here we have his first vintage of Savagnin that has been aged in barrels. The result is fantastically complex with yellow citrus, nutty spice and minerals aplenty, with just the right amount of grip that indicates it will evolve beautifully over time. A wine very much
The first macerated white we have received from Fred and Delphine
with many vineyards appearing barren and totally devoid of life after being rinsed with industrial herbicides and pesticides
A tea-like maceration of Pinot Gris (known here as Ruländer) that brings together white flowers
The vines here are aged up to 75 years old and are planted on varying mixes of clay
but takes it well away from the style of Spain's most famous sparkling wine by adding plenty of aromatic Muscat and doing it all a la pet-nat
and in a different method to Noëlla's usual élevage
a highly obscure strain of Roussanne that is found in the alpine region of Savoie
raw citrus acidity and a prickly spritz bubbling beneath the surface
Highly fragrant with charred green pepper on the nose and the finish leads to bitter dark chocolate
After three weeks of fermentation
Each parcel with it's own soil type and exposure gives a real snapshot of the growing region – a Patchwork cuvée
gentle maceration in tini
