Les Nouvelles 2019, Philippe Chatillon

Philippe Chatillon's wines are without a doubt our favorite in the Jura. There is an unmatched tension, purity and sophistication to his wines. This Savagnin offers a powerful intensity matched with a fragile soul. Cultivated on the grey marl soils of the Arbois appellation, this Savagnin has been slow-pressed in an ancient stone press. Ageing takes place in old barrels for 14 month with topping. The wine delivers lush stone fruit & nut, coriander, curry leaf and caramelised pastry. It is full and richly flavoured on the palate and enhanced by a fine tautness & near searing acidity.
