The 2023 Domaine Maire & Fils Grand Minéral Côtes du Jura Savagnin Blanc is a fresh and mineral-driven white that showcases the distinctive character of Savagnin from the Jura. Crafted in a non-oxidative style, it highlights purity, vibrancy and aromatic lift rather than the traditional nutty intensity of the region. The nose is airy and expressive, revealing white flowers, citrus and subtle acacia notes, layered with hints of grapefruit and a light saline edge.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth yet lively texture, balancing gentle richness with crisp acidity. Flavours of lemon, orchard fruit and delicate nuttiness are supported by a clear mineral backbone, leading to a clean, fresh and slightly savoury finish. The style is elegant, polished and refreshing, with a focus on finesse and drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great introduction to Savagnin in a fresher, more approachable style compared to traditional oxidative Jura wines. It’s ideal for customers who enjoy mineral-driven whites with a unique twist. Drink now or over the next 2–4 years. Perfect with seafood, crustaceans, smoked salmon or roast poultry.
