If you've wanted to get to know Savagnin, the Jura's signature white grape, without the nutty, sherry-like tang of vin jaune, "ouillé" on the label is your cue. It means the barrels were topped up as the wine aged, so it stays fresh and shows the grape itself. It comes from Château de Verreux, where former owner Joseph Girard came up with the idea for Arbois, which became France's first official AOC in 1936. Girard picked up plenty of titles over his career, but when he died in 1955 his funeral notice simply read "Winemaker in Arbois." He left no heirs, and the château stood abandoned for fifty years until its current owners bought it and started bringing it back. Today they farm 9 hectares of vines, certified biodynamic by Demeter. Their usual approach with Savagnin is to ferment it in oak with native yeasts and let it rest on its lees without stirring before bottling with only a light filtration. It's a serious white that doesn't need a lecture before you open it, and a great way to start exploring the Jura.

"The 2024 Arbois Savagnin opens with lifted lemon peel, ripe yellow apple and pastry tones. Accents of wet stone add a mineral nuance. Medium-bodied and intense, the 2024 is a delicious Savagnin ouillé, carrying tangible freshness and verve. I love the energy on this one." —Nicolas Greinacher

More about Chateau De Verreux

Château de Verreux is a story of revival: the eighteenth-century house on the edge of Arbois was once home to Joseph Girard, the man who championed the Arbois appellation, often called the first AOC in France. After Girard's death the estate sat abandoned for decades. It's now a protected monument under restoration, and since 2023 wine is being made there again.

The project brings together Arbois native Vincent Richard, who founded it in 2021, winemaker Vincent Remillet, who spent more than a decade at Domaine du Pélican before joining, and Yann Greset. The roughly nine hectares sit on grey marls, limestone-rich clay full of marine fossils, which gives the wines freshness and a faint saline edge. Farming is biodynamic, with certification underway.

In the cellar the approach is light-handed: native-yeast fermentations, gentle macerations for the reds and very little sulfur. The range covers Arbois's five grapes one by one (Chardonnay, topped-up "ouillé" Savagnin, Pinot Noir, Poulsard and Trousseau) plus a blend called Symbiose. Expect bright, transparent wines that show the Jura's freshness rather than its oxidative side. It's a young estate with deep roots and one to watch.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Aged Comté or Beaufort; chicken with morels and cream; pan-fried trout with brown butter and almonds; mushroom risotto; tarte flambée with onions and lardons.

Tasting Profile

Expect the fresh, topped-up style of Arbois Savagnin: lemon, green apple and quince, with a savoury, saline edge and a touch of spice from fermentation in oak. Time on the lees typically adds texture to a medium-full body, while Savagnin's high acidity keeps it taut, finishing dry and long. Think white Burgundy's weight with a sharper, more mineral bite.
