Le Sage Vagnin 2020, Philippe Chatillon

Created for laying down, this Savagnin ouillé has a fine oxidative character with spicy, fruity and turmeric notes. Only 1 barrel is made annually in a new oak barrel as seasoning before finding use for other wines. It is mouth-filling and generous on the palate with spicy aromas with hallmark acidity. Further notes of green split wood, green pineapple, fresh butter, resin and bay leaf add to the incredible complexity of this wine. We suggest pairing the characteristic bitterness of this wine with an aged mature cheese whose salt crystals will add lustre to its discreet fruitiness.
