FEATURES
The 2011 Maison Pierre Overnoy Arbois-Pupillin Savagnin (cire Jaune) is a highly sought-after Jura white wine, celebrated for its purity and depth. This vintage, produced in tiny quantities, embodies the radical authenticity and precision that have established the Overnoy estate as a benchmark for natural wines. The wine presents a complex, oxidative-leaning style, marked by great tension, salinity, and a remarkable aromatic spectrum, all supported by a vibrant, living structure. The term "cire jaune" refers to the distinctive yellow wax used to seal the bottles, symbolizing patient aging and meticulous care. The élevage, inspired by local traditions, prioritizes complexity, texture, and a profound expression of terroir over primary fruit. The 2011 Savagnin was fermented in stainless steel and then aged in used oak foudres, in an 'ouillé' style (topped up, not under flor), which initially showed some oxidative notes of pollen, beeswax, and flowers, evolving into tangerine peel with air. The palate reveals a ripe year with integrated acidity, suggesting good aging potential. 【Cult Jura white wine, embodying radical authenticity and precision】.

Event Suggestions: Ideal for contemplative tastings with enthusiasts, during a gastronomic meal, or to crown a special occasion where one wishes to explore the singular character of great Jura whites.
