Domaine de la Tournelle, Fleur de Savagnin 2020
Place: Jura, France
Grape: Savagnin
Vibe: Electrifying
Savagnin that is full of finesse. Hand sorted grapes see a gentle pressing before starting their ferment in tanks. Moved over into oak to complete malo and then regularly topped up until deemed ready, usually after at least 18 months. Grown over grey marl means this has a signature salinity that really runs through the wine and would make it an ideal canditate for ageing, if you're into that sort of thing. If you're impatient like me then just give this a carafe and an evening of deep contemplation. One of the last vintages made before Pascal's tragic passing. ABV: 13%
