2006 Côtes du Jura, Les Vignes de Mon Père, Jean-François Ganevat

Savagnin is a high-quality white-wine grape cultivated almost exclusively in the Jura in eastern France. It is cultivated to a limited extent throughout the Jura vineyards (usually on the poorest marls soils on west-facing slopes) and may be included in any of the region's white wine appellations. However it is most widely used but is usually in practice reserved for the Jura's extraordinary vin jaune. The Jura's most renowned wine undergoes a process similar to sherry, whereby a film of yeast covers the surface, thereby preventing oxidation but allowing evaporation and the subsequent concentration of the wine. The result is a "sherry-like" wine with a delicate, nutty richness.

The Côtes du Jura wine region in eastern France is famous for distinctive white wines, especially Chardonnay-based ones using oxidative winemaking techniques like Vin Jaune. The region also produces red wines from Poulsard and Trousseau grapes. The winemakers blend tradition with innovation, captivating enthusiasts with high-quality wines and picturesque vineyards.
