Information

Vin Jaune is a unique white wine from the Jura region in France. It has a deep golden color and a rich, nutty flavor profile. The bouquet reveals notes of walnut, dried fruit, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied with flavors of nuts, dried apricot, and a touch of earthiness. Vin Jaune pairs well with aged cheeses, poultry, and savory dishes.

Fun facts

Vin Jaune, or "yellow wine," is a Jura specialty made in a unique oxidative style. It’s aged for six years under a veil of yeast, resulting in its nutty and savory profile.
