🏰 The Thomas Popy Vin de France Sous la Roche Madrue 2016 is a white wine made from Savagnin grapes, hailing from the Jura region of France. The 2016 vintage in Jura is noted as a particularly interesting year. Across Germany, 2016 was a challenging year with early summer rainfall, but conditions improved from July onwards, leading to good quality wines that are often lower in alcohol and higher in acidity than the 2015 vintage. For Pfalz, it was a classic vintage, producing fruit-driven, elegant, and fresh wines with moderate alcohol. This artisanal Savagnin from Thomas Popy is known for its finesse, freshness, and ability to express the Jura terroir without exaggeration. Expect a pretty nose with elements of yellow fruit, apples, abundant minerals, lemon, hay, and a hint of stone fruit. The palate is precise and sharp, with high acidity, lemon zest, citrus fruit, salinity, and green apple. 【An artisanal expression of Jura Savagnin, showcasing finesse and freshness】. 🍴 This vibrant Savagnin pairs exquisitely with simple, flavorful regional cuisine. Think of dishes like Comté cheese, chicken with morel mushrooms, trout with almonds, or even roasted duck and game birds. 🥂 Perfect for a casual gathering with friends, a picnic, or an adventurous wine tasting where guests appreciate discovering unique, characterful wines that stand apart from traditional appellation styles. It's a wine that invites a slowing of pace and a reconnection to rustic truth.
