Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, high acidity, dry
Vin Jaune from the Jura is a bold, oxidative white made from Savagnin, aged for years under a thin veil of yeast that gives it a nutty, curry-and-walnut character rather than fresh fruit. It is intensely dry with piercing acidity and a full, textured body that lingers on the palate for a long time. This is a wine built for pairing with rich, savory dishes rather than casual sipping.
Serving: Serve at 10–12 °C.
