Domaine Frédéric Lambert – Côtes du Jura Savagnin

Origin & Production Method

Grown in the heart of Jura at the wine-growing town of Toulouse-le-Château (near Poligny), with vineyards planted in blue marl and chalky soil, giving the wines good minerality and depth

Produced with a focus on sustainability and respect for terroir: Hand-harvested, limited sulfur and use of spontaneous fermentations, minimal filtration

Vinification & Aging

100% Savagnin vinified in an oxidizing style (“sous voile”) , typical of the Jura tradition.

Ageing: 3–4 years in oak barrels, where the wine develops under a thin film of yeast – without topping up (pas-ouillé), which gives characteristic oxidative notes

Aroma & Flavor Profile

Aromas: Dried fruits (apple, quince), nuts, spices, mineral and slightly rancio character – often compared to dry sherry

Taste: Full-bodied and concentrated, but at the same time with fine freshness and precise acid balance. Experience both fruity and rich notes of dried fruit and nuts.

Technical Details

Alcohol: approximately 13.5% ABV

Aging potential: Can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age up to 10 years or more in the best vintages

Food Match & Serving

Serving suggestion: 14–16 °C to highlight the aroma and balance between oxidative notes and fresh acidity

Food match: Great with Comté or Morbier, gougères, poultry in cream sauce, dishes with a sharp edge (e.g. Asian-inspired) – or even as an aperitif with mature cheeses

In short:

Domaine Frédéric Lambert Savagnin Côtes du Jura is a wine above many – a fine balance between fruit, oxidation and Jura tradition. With its rich and mineral structure and elegant acidity, it is a treasured experience for wine lovers and foodies alike.
