Jérôme Arnoux - Cellier des Tiercelines - Arbois - Nuance 2018

IN CONVERSION TO ORGANIC FARMING

Keywords: Fruity / Oxidative / Gourmet

The wine: The Nuance cuvée of Jérôme Arnoux is a delicious blend of Chardonnay and Savagnin that makes a superb introduction for anyone who would later like to try the joys of Vin Jaune. Indeed, if the Chardonnay is vinified here in a classic way in tuns (large wooden containers), the Savagnin is vinified under veil, like a yellow wine, during more than two years. The result is a wine presenting an initial taste of fruity aromas (citrus, peach etc.), while oxidative markers like notes of nut, hazelnut and curry appear in the middle and end of the palate. The balance is absolutely delicious and this wine will make an ideal playmate with mature Comté, white meats, creamed fish or even exotic cuisine!

The estate: Jérôme Arnoux is a character well known in the Jura region. The native of Montigny-lès-Arsures has more than 25 years of winemaking behind him. After having been Stéphane Tissot's right-hand man, he managed the Château de Chavannes then took care of the wines of the Caveau de la Reine Jeanne. A beautiful CV with only one line missing: the one in his name. This has been done since 2015, the year in which he began to operate his 17 hectares of vines on his own. The conversion to organic farming has begun and only corresponds to the precepts already anchored in the work carried out at the estate: indigenous yeasts, minimum interventionism, etc. The wines produced wonderfully express the richness of the Jura terroirs and Jérôme’s exceptional winemaking talent.
