Jura | white, dry |
An elegant blend of Chardonnay and Savagnin with notes of ripe fruit and lovely minerality.
This cuvée from the Jura combines Chardonnay and Savagnin from the Les Molates vineyard. The result is a wine with aromas of white flowers, citrus, and a hint of nuts. On the palate, it exhibits freshness, a mineral character, and a long finish.
Eric Thill has had wine in his blood since childhood. Coming from a winemaking family, he grew up at the foot of Schlossberg. In 2007, he and his wife moved from Haut-Rhin to the Jura and started from scratch, building a winery of their own – except for one 2.76-hectare plot they purchased. The estate has been certified organic (Ecocert) since 2015 and is moving toward biodynamics. Today, they farm 5.8 hectares planted with Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, and Pinot Noir, using gentle vineyard practices like selective weeding and canopy management.
