Domaine Frédéric Lornet Vin Jaune Arbois 2002

ITEM # LOYW02

 

Varietal: 100% Savagnin

Viticulture & Vinification Notes: The fruit is sourced from 40 year old vines. 100% destemmed and fermented in foudres of 3000 litres. Wine is left on its lees until the following spring, when it is racked and transferred to 228 litre barrels. Oak barrels are filled, stoppered and left to age without topping off for six years and three months minimum by appellation law. A voile develops (yeast layer) on top of the aging wine both protecting the wine and adding flavor to it. The wine is neither fined nor filtered and has an amazing aging potential. Once a bottle is opened it can be saved for up to a month before losing the slightest flavor.

Notes From The Winemaker: Very powerful nose, exploding with notes of curry, walnut and the sea. This wine is full in the mouth and beautifully balanced between the force of the flavor and the acidity. Long on the palate and with a finish that does not end.
