Les Chalasses Vieilles Vignes2019

Made from the region's native grape, Savagnin, Jura whites tend to be low in alcohol with bright acidity, and offer up nutty, savory qualities and can be intensely spicy. The typical Jura white is intentionally made in an oxidative style, in barrel under a thin film of yeast, slightly similar to how sherry is produced. Located in eastern France, the Jura's climate is relatively cool, with most vines planted on south-facing slopes that benefit from direct sunshine. There are also more fruit-forward styles of white produced in the Jura, often from Chardonnay and similar to white Burgundy, but fresher and lighter.
