SAVAGNIN 2020 - Réserve du Caveau (Lucien AVIET & fils)

AGE OF VINES: 50 years.

LOCATION: Savagnin thrives here on a mosaic of selected plots: Château Gimont, En Levrin, Champ-Maudit, and Les Bruyères.

EXPOSURE: N/A.

GEOLOGY: The geological unity of the Aviet & Fils estate rests on the gray marls of the LIAS (Lower Jurassic), the preferred land for Savagnin. However, there are subtle nuances: "schistes cartons" (paper shales) in the Château Gimont sector, as opposed to the fossil-rich sandy marls scattered with limestone scree that characterize the other lieux-dits.

"It was awarded a Gold Medal at the Jura Departmental 'Vins & Marcs' AOC competition, and it is richly deserved! This Savagnin is simply magnificent, boasting powerful notes of walnut, bitter orange, and turmeric. It possesses a supple texture, perfectly balanced and sapid. It’s a true standout you can always rely on!"
