Vin Jaune, Côtes du Jura

The lovably warm and funny Christian and Patricia Pêcheur farm eight hectares of vines in the Côtes du Jura; only a few parcels of old vine Savagnin from the east and west-facing, steeply sloped Mont Royal and Grand Vaux parcels become their classic Jurassien expression of Vin Jaune, resting sous-voile for at least seven years, with salty lemon minerality and curry spice.
