'Cuvée d'Automne' Domaine de la Pinte

The “Cuvée d’Automne” is a blend of Savagnin and Chardonnay that originates from the blue marl soils of Jura. A concentrate of aromatic richness and softness capable of capturing a great territory and faithfully returning it in liquid form. This is precisely why Jura is one of the potentially most interesting lands in France, which in the past has suffered from competition with nearby giants of Burgundy that have diminished its growth. Only in recent years has it appeared on the market with increasingly convincing expressions, thanks certainly to the expertise of great wineries like Domaine de la Pinte, the potential of the indigenous grape Savagnin, and the extraordinary territory. This full-bodied white is one of the many artisanal gems of the area that is gaining appreciation worldwide for its authenticity and unique style. Savagnin, related to Gewurztraminer, brings aromaticity and exuberance, while Chardonnay adds richness and creaminess, resulting in a unique and balanced outcome.

The “Cuvée d’Automne” is born from a clay and limestone soil, composed of the typical blue marls of the region. The vines, cultivated according to a biodynamic philosophy, produce healthy and pure fruits. In the cellar, the fermentations are catalyzed by indigenous yeasts, naturally present on the skins. The aging lasts 48 months in wood and a small mass of Savagnin is aged in empty barrels and creates the flor, the famous veil of yeasts that characterizes the production of Vin Jaune.

Domaine de la Pinte “Cuvée d’Automne” pours into the glass with a beautiful straw yellow color, enhanced by golden reflections. Intense aromatic perceptions of citrus peel, candied fruits, dried fruit, and vanilla are enveloped by a light oxidative halo. A mineral breeze brings us back to the soil of the area. On the palate, it shows harmony from start to finish, with a notable silky softness interwoven with a pleasant freshness and a slight volatile note. It finishes long and persistent. Definitely Jura!
