Grand Elevage

2002 Arbois Savagnin

Rijckaert Grand Elevage, a remarkable 2002 vintage Savagnin from the esteemed Arbois region, embodies a stunning expression of depth and character. This red wine impresses with its medium-bodied profile, showcasing a well-rounded balance that effortlessly engages the palate. The acidity is bright, adding a refreshing vibrancy to the wine, which enhances its overall appeal. The fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes that evoke ripe red berries, supported by delicate undertones of spice. Tannins are notable yet refined, contributing to its structure without overwhelming the fruit. This wine is dry, making it a versatile choice for a variety of culinary pairings, and it's not surprising that Rijckaert has garnered accolades for this exquisite representation of its terroir.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
