The 2023 Domaine Amélie Guillot Naturé Savagnin Ouillé is a dry white from Arbois in France’s Jura region, made entirely from Savagnin. Produced from mature vines and farmed on a small scale, it shows fresh green apple, lemon and grapefruit alongside white pepper, herbs and distinctive stony mineral notes.
On the palate, it is precise and energetic with vibrant acidity, juicy citrus and a firm mineral core. Unlike the oxidative styles traditionally associated with Jura Savagnin, this wine is ouillé, meaning the barrels are regularly topped up to limit oxygen exposure and preserve freshness and fruit purity. Wild-yeast fermentation and ageing in older barrels add gentle texture and savoury complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Savagnin drinkers who enjoy dry, mineral-driven Jura whites with bright acidity and savoury complexity. Enjoy now or cellar for further development. Ideal with grilled fish, oysters, roast chicken, mushroom dishes, Comté or other aged cheeses.
