Product description for Grand Côtes du Jura, Cuvée Tradition, Vin de Voile 2021

Wine Information

Although the winery remains tight-lipped about the exact composition of the cuvée, the basis of this wine is evidently a Cuvée Blanc Tradition, which usually consists of one-third Savagnin and two-thirds Chardonnay. Both varieties are traditionally fermented and aged together in barrels. It is a vin de voile, meaning it is not topped up during storage. However, the wine appears significantly less oxidative than the 2021 Savagnin vin de voile. In this respect, topping up may have only been omitted sporadically, and only a light layer of flor has formed.

Color

Golden yellow

Nose

The 2021 Cuvée Tradition smells of walnuts, dried figs, salted lemons, and salted almonds. Added to this are a few yellow plums, yellow and green apples, lemons, zest, and salted lemons, as well as a subtle hint of nougat and marzipan. You can certainly tell this is vin de voile, but the oxidative quality is subtle.

Palate

On the palate, the Cuvée Tradition strikes a delicate balance between the rondeur of Savagnin and the freshness of Chardonnay, between juiciness and gentle acidity. The wine has a fine tannin, displays tart notes of citrus fruits and green apple, is reminiscent of curry leaves and salted almonds, and offers a subtle wood tone with toasted notes and caramel. Here, you’ll find power and elegance, a light, lively bitterness, and plenty of umami.
