The 2023 Amélie Guillot Savagnin Vieilles Vignes is an expressive Jura white from Arbois, made from the region’s signature Savagnin grape. Produced from old vines and hand-harvested fruit, it shows fresh lemon, green apple and pear alongside white flowers, dried herbs, subtle spice and a distinctive mineral character.
On the palate, it is dry and energetic, with vibrant acidity giving definition to citrus and orchard fruit flavours. Savagnin’s naturally savoury personality brings additional notes of herbs, nuts and gentle earthiness, while the finish is persistent, fresh and mineral. Amélie Guillot works on a small scale in Molamboz near Arbois, with careful manual harvesting and minimal intervention in the cellar.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Jura drinkers who enjoy dry, characterful whites with bright acidity, mineral depth and savoury complexity. Enjoy now or cellar for further development. Ideal with grilled fish, roast chicken, mushroom dishes, Comté, creamy pasta or other aged cheeses.
