Arbois Foudre à Canon Savagnin - Domaine de la Borde

The Arbois Foudre à Canon Savagnin by Domaine de la Borde is an interesting and complex white wine, which highlights the unique character of the Savagnin variety. The 25-year-old vines, planted on blue limestone marl, give the wine a distinctive minerality and elegant structure. Fermentation and aging in 1500 liter wooden barrels allow the development of aromatic complexity, while maintaining freshness and vitality. The fact that the wine is "ouillé", i.e. kept with filled barrels, means that the typical "flor" found in other types of wines, such as Jerez, does not form, thus allowing greater oxygenation and a more aromatic profile. clean and defined. On the nose, the citrus notes, together with hints of cedar and spices, are woven into a fascinating bouquet. In the mouth, the wine is deep and dynamic, with a vibrant freshness and a good final length. This balance of acidity and complexity makes it an excellent accompaniment to fish, poultry or mature cheese dishes. An excellent example of the expressive potential of wines produced in the Arbois region and the Savagnin variety.
