2018 Frédéric Lambert Savagnin

WINEMAKER: Frédéric Lambert
REGION: Jura, FR
VARIETAL: Savagnin
VITICULTURE: Organic

A sous voile (oxidative) wine. 30 months in older barrel under voile. Taken from vines in Fangy and Passenans.

This Savagnin ticks all the boxes if you are a Jura fan. That classic aldehydic, pungent nose from the oxidation drawing you in. Salted plums, dried stonefruit, dried flowers. Beautiful briney, rock pool midpalate and long length on the finish.

Being a former employee of the Jura body (SVJ) Société de Viticulture du Jura for 10 years, Frédéric Lambert knows the region, soils and vines of the Jura very well. He started buying vineyards around Toulouse-le-Château in 1993 and later set up his own Domaine in 2003. Organic practices have been implemented from the start and he has been tending and planting that way since the beginning as he believes chemicals “massacre the soil!”
