Based in the historic heart of Poligny, this boutique 6 hectare estate is now revitalized by a talented new generation winemaking duo, Louis Bourdrel and Chloé Nardin. Honoring the heritage of the region, their 2018 AOC Côtes du Jura Savagnin is a masterclass in patient, traditional winemaking, landing in Australia with 8 full years of mature, complex development straight from the cellar.

Why the 2018 Croisée Comtoise Savagnin?

• The Tradition of the Veil (Sous Voile): This 2018 release is crafted in the legendary, traditional oxidative style of the Jura. Aged for years in old oak barrels under a thin film of flor yeast (la voile), it develops the highly coveted, wildly complex notes of green walnut, curry leaf, and toasted almond.
• The Magic of the 2018 Vintage: A warmer, highly expressive vintage gave this Savagnin an incredible depth of concentration. It possesses a generous, rich texture balanced beautifully by the piercing, laser-like natural acidity that prevents the wine from ever feeling heavy.
• The Ultimate Sommelier Pairing Tool: Few grapes can challenge a sommelier's pairing imagination like an aged Savagnin. It features a distinct line of marine salinity, making it an extraordinary, unexpected companion to everything from premium local sea urchin and rich poultry dishes to its cultural soulmate: aged Comté cheese.
