2013 Guillaume Overnoy Savagnin Type

For those who are familiar with the cult wines of the Jura will be familliar with the surname Overnoy. The great Pierre Overnoy is one of the cultural icons of the area and has done much for the reputation of France's smallest wine growing region.

Domaine Overnoy is operated by Pierre's nephew, Guillaume - a young man in his 20s who took control of his family's wines in 2013. He now farms 5.5 hectares under vine without the use of chemicals in Orbagna, Jura. He is one of the region's young gun producers making honest wines that follow in the footsteps of the region's great makers.

This is Guillaume's delicious, oxidative style of Savagnin. It's rich, though sliced with the signature salinity and crystaline acidity that the Jura is famous for.

Only a small amount makes it into the country.
