Croix & Courbet, Savagnin, Ouille, Cotes du Jura 2020
From the importer: Croix et Courbet started as a small side project from David Croix (Domaine des Croix), Burgundian winemaker, and Damien Courbet, winemaker in the Jura, in Nevy-Sur-Seille more precisely that celebrates their combined interest in the Jura at large, rich in it’s variety of terroirs and the different climatic conditions.
Savagnin, with its late maturity and good resistance to rot is more robust than Chardonnay and also less sensitive to oxidation, allowing a very low use of sulphur. The objective is to reveal the grape’s floral side and reflect the diversity of the Jura terroirs through individual parcels. So, while the grape is often vinified in an oxidative way (sous voile), Croix & Courbet chooses to explore the full potential of this grape variety vinified without contact with oxygen (ouille).
This cuvée sees some fruit from both En Beaumont and En Chemenot, with the addition of a small parcel in Château-Chalon. It sees fermentation in concrete egg, moved to old 228 barrels and finished 18 months in stainless steel
