Tasting note
I also had a very young bottle of the 2015 Vin Jaune, a selection of 62% Savagnin Jaune and 38% Savagnin Vert from different lieux-dits on Lias clay, Charrière, Billat, Cret ... planted between 1945 and 1979. It's a selection of the finest biological barrels, wines matured under a fine veil of flor yeasts for seven years. 2015 produced powerful wines. From the evaporation and concentration, this has 16% alcohol, but it has kept a very low pH, 3.01, denoting vibrant freshness; and even though the acidity is not very high (5.4 grams), the volatility (0.72 grams/liter) might have helped to lift up the wine. It has classical notes of rancid walnuts, curry, celery and dry yellow flowers. The palate is pungent and persistent, with a long and very tasty, almost salty finish. Umami! It was bottled in June 2023.
