My very first Vin Jaune, made by the master of Arbois, Jacques Puffeney. Made from a grape many confuse for something else - Savaginin. However upon the first whiff from the glass you know this is no ordinary white wine! Smells of salty and stinky cheese ooze from the glass like an epoisses cheese, then come the minerals compounding the complexity. Bright and salty aromas follow the funk down to the palate and are immediately washed clean by the high acidity. I could see this crushing soft sell crabs and other fried and/or salty goodness.

I'm the only person in this classroom that enjoys this. Which means I get to take the rest home. #VinJaune #Jura #Clavelin #Voile #funkytown #FrenchWineScholar — 9 years ago

Vintage 2009 / #vinjaune from #savagnin grape. Mild entering in the mouth after that true to type oxydation smell. Mocca. Lots of power. Not a wine for novices. #jura #chateauchalon — 6 years ago
