Savagnin

Savagnin is one of France's most ancient and enigmatic white varieties — a grape with a history stretching back to the medieval period that finds its greatest expression in the Jura, where it produces the extraordinary Vin Jaune, aged for years under a flor yeast film to develop its distinctive oxidative, walnut-and-spice character unlike any other wine in the world.
