The 2023 Amélie Guillot Blanc Floral Vieilles Vignes is a distinctive white from Arbois in France’s Jura region, blending Chardonnay and Savagnin from old vines averaging around 65 years of age. The nose is fresh and expressive, showing white flowers, green apple, stone fruit and citrus alongside subtle nutty and mineral notes.
On the palate, it is dry, juicy and finely textured with bright acidity balancing ripe orchard fruit and a distinctive stony minerality. The grapes are hand harvested and naturally fermented, with the wine made in a topped-up, non-oxidative style that preserves freshness and fruit purity. The finish is long, mineral and gently savoury.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Jura drinkers who enjoy fresh, textural whites with bright acidity, mineral complexity and subtle savoury character. Enjoy now or cellar for further development. Ideal with grilled fish, roast chicken, mushroom dishes, creamy pasta, Comté or other aged cheeses.
