2014 Cellier Saint Benoit Vin Jaune (620ml)

Benjamin Benoit is fast becoming one of the Jura’s most exciting voices. Working in Pupillin with traditional methods and minimal sulphur, his site-specific wines offer a precise, elegant expression of Jura terroir. Cellier Saint Benoit sets a new standard for quality in the region.

Sourced from Savagnin vines primarily in Les Chambines, on marl soils typical of the Jura. The wine was a barrel selection with preference given to the most restrained and tightly wound example, considered best suited for extended sous voile maturation. Aged for over nine years in a single cask stored in the domaine’s custom attic (rather than humid cellars), allowing the veil of flor to develop under more oxidative and dynamic conditions. This longer aging exceeds the legal minimum of six years, encouraging greater salinity and tertiary development. Bottled unfiltered from a single cask.
