2020 Domaine O2Y L'Embellie Savagnin
WINEMAKER: Yves Roy, Olivier Guala & Yoshi Kuroda
REGION: Jura, FR
VARIETY: Savagnin
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
It's like a bright and enchanting moment ("Embellie" in French) that O2Y has been able to source these excellent Savagnin grapes from Montigny-les-Arsures! Crafted and matured in the same cask for 24 months, this Savagnin boasts remarkable aromatics and a rounder, more robust character than "L’Autre Petit Nico". This wine presents a different style – it's more intense yet slightly less complex than its sibling, "L’Autre Petit Nico". It's perfect for those seeking a rich and pleasurable wine experience.
This is a collaboration between Yves Roy (Novice), Olivier Guala and young Japanese winemaker, Yoshi Kuroda (who is currently working for Emmanuel Houillon). This is a negotiant business where they source organically grown grapes from other French wine regions such as Alsace and Beaujolais.
Their commitment to being SO2 and additive free with no fining or filtration of their wines, makes their wines natural and vibrant. This vibrancy and freshness also comes through when you taste their wines as Yoshi’s unique style of winemaking is showcased.
