Vin Jaune

2008 Arbois Savagnin

The Domaines Henri Maire Vin Jaune, crafted from the Savagnin grape, showcases a splendid expression of the Arbois region in its 2008 vintage. This remarkable white wine is renowned for its complex and captivating profile. With a full-bodied character, it embodies a mouthwatering acidity that invigorates the palate, creating a refreshing sensation. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing delightful notes of green apple, pear, and subtle citrus that linger gracefully. Tannins are notably balanced, providing a gentle structure that supports its rich flavors without overwhelming them. This wine is elegantly dry, offering a sophisticated experience that pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, particularly those featuring rich cheeses or savory poultry. The Domaines Henri Maire Vin Jaune is a true testament to the unique terroir of Arbois and the exceptional quality of its Savagnin varietal.

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.
