Jérôme Arnoux - Cellier des Tiercelines - Arbois - Vin Jaune 2016

Key words: Powerful / Oxidative / Spicy / For keeping

The wine: This magnificent Vin Jaune by Jérôme Arnoux was aged in oak barrels under a veil of yeast for 6 years and 3 months. The result ? A little bomb of concentration deploying succulent oxidative aromas: curry, walnuts, hazelnut and almond unfold deliciously in the mouth. However, the aromatic palette of this cuvée is not reduced to these tasty but usual markers of Vin Jaune. In fact, we can also notice warm spicy notes such as cinnamon, cloves, vanilla and pepper when tasting. The whole thing is carried by a beautiful buttery texture and will pair divinely well with poultry with morels, mature Comté cheese, exotic cuisine or even blue-veined cheeses. Unique, enchanting and with incredible storage capacity!

The estate: Jérôme Arnoux is a well-known figure 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.
