Arbois Blanc, “Cuvée des Moyne, Vieilles Vignes”

This is the principal white cuvée of the domaine, a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Savagnin that are co-fermented and aged together sous voile for thirty months in small barrels. The nose is clean and bright, with subtle hints of nuts and dried herbs. The fruit leans toward poached pear and orange peel, with an unbelievably fine, silky texture.
