Arbois Savagnin 2016 Frederic Puffeney
Frédéric Puffeney, heir to the renowned Jacques Puffeney dynasty, presents a classic from Arbois: Arbois Savagnin, a creation that exudes the authenticity of the Jura region. This wine, derived from the famous Savagnin grape, represents the essence of a winemaking philosophy that blends tradition and innovation.
Cultivated on soils rich in blue marls, Savagnin is aged under a veil, reminiscent of Vin Jaune, for several years, developing its distinctive power. Aromas of dried fruit and nuts intertwine with extraordinary persistence on the palate, bearing witness to the strength of its roots in the blue marls.
During tasting, a lively acidity emerges, harmoniously blending with undertones of citrus and white flowers, caressed by a subtle suggestion of orchard fruit subjected to oxidation. The captivating minerality traces a long path in the finish, adding complexity and depth to the wine's sensory profile.
While already delightful, this wine reveals its full potential with further aging in the cellar. Frédéric Puffeney's Arbois Savagnin is not only an ideal companion for traditional dishes from Franche-Comté, such as coq au vin jaune or croûte aux morilles, but also enhances the sensory experience with blue cheeses or simply with walnuts and cubes of Comté. Its complexity and refinement make it a treasure to be opened in advance, allowing the wine to gradually unveil its secrets on the palate.
