It appears in the glass with a golden yellow hue, revealing complex aromas of dried fruit and spices.

Where does it come from
The Savagnin grapes dedicated to this wine grow in the vineyards of Pupillin, in the heart of the French Jura region. This area, located within the Arbois-Pupillin zone, is renowned for its vocation for producing whites with remarkable longevity and a strong aromatic imprint. Domaine de la Renardiere cultivates its vines following the rhythms of organic farming, with the clear intention of reflecting in every glass the pure expression of the local terroir, authentically respecting the balance of nature.
How is it produced
The production process is distinguished by an ageing period of six years and three months in partially filled barrels, without any topping up. This technique encourages the natural formation of a yeast veil on the surface, initiating oxidative ageing in the solera style. It is precisely this slow maturation that gives the wine its breadth of flavour, forging a fascinating aromatic profile and ensuring the elegant texture that defines its final identity in the glass.
