Note:
Ouillé means topped up. As Guillaume explained it, when you open the bung hole of the barrel, you can see your reflected eye (œil). In other words, this is an expression of the Savagnin grape without exposure to oxygen, in contrast to the more traditional oxidative Jura Savagnins. This is made from numerous plots in Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures. The diverse soils include three geological ages of marl. A pale lemon colour heralds a nose of pure stone-fruit with enticing lemon zest. The palate is joyful: pure and precise lemon and peach fruit to the fore, with zesty lift. A wine of tension and energetic drive. Or as Guillaume put it, “Every time I taste this, I want six oysters.” Aged half in 500L barrels, half in foudre.
Food Pairing:  
Oyster, seafood, Comte cheese
