Vin Jaune Domaine de la Tournelle biodynamic, 100% Savagnin, aged 7 years under flor yeast, no added sulphites, rich, elegant, salty, minerally, incredibly complex, a rare wine of outstanding beauty and freshness. When you taste these mythical wines from the Jura, you know instantly you are in the presence of greatness and none more so than the Vin Jaune produced by Pscal and Evelyne at Domaine de La Tournelle. They are truly stunning Exilirs, rich and savoury yet so precise and after nearly 15 years ageing, the 2005 is still a baby. These are wines for the very special occasions. They are not cheap but when you examine the process that goes into making them, you can at least in part understand where that cost comes from. Very low yields from labour intensive vines, rigorous selection at harvest and 7 years of ageing before sale, that is expensive indeed. The wine is stunning, have with Jura cheeses only.
