Côtes du Jura Savagnin Oxy More v4 François Rousset Martin 2018

The wine

The Côtes du Jura Savagnin Oxy "More" voile N°4 is produced by François Rousset-Martin. The vines are planted just a few kilometres from Château-Chalon, in Nevy-sur-Seille, on a gravelly soil that is primarily clay-limestone. This area also features gray marls from the Bajocian period, making these soils particularly well suited for Savagnin, which makes up 100% of this cuvée. François tends to his 10 hectares of vines in harmony with the environment, moving towards organic farming certification. In the winery, the pressing is lengthy and precedes fermentation in barrels, triggered by native yeasts. François Rousset-Martin doesn’t add sulphites to his wine. Finally, this oxidation Savagnin undergoes four years of ageing under a veil.
On tasting, this Savagnin presents a compelling aromatic profile with notes of nuts and white fruits. The palate is rich, powerful, complex, and has great length. It reveals flavours of white fruits such as flat peaches along with oxidative notes of nuts.

About the Producer François Rousset-Martin

Originally from the Jura, François Rousset-Martin took up the family domain in 2007. Trained in oenology and biology, he began by working closely with the local cooperative, to which he entrusted part of his production. Today, he vinifies his 10 hectares himself, much to our great happiness. A Savagnin specialist, François manages to express all his passion through the wine he produces, and this with a non-interventionist approach. His cuvées are single-parcel and coveted in all four corners of the world. Japanese wine enthusiasts are particular fans of Jura wine because of the ‘umami' flavour it is said to have. So you might have to fight to get your hands on one of these precious bottles.
