The2023 Théo Dancer Vin de France Jurassique Savagnin Magnum (1500ml) is a focused, mineral-driven white sourced from Rotalier in France’s Jura region. Grown on chalky clay over Bajocian limestone, the Savagnin is made in an ouillé, or topped-up, style to retain freshness and avoid pronounced oxidative character. Aromas of lemon peel, green apple and pear are joined by fennel, light nuttiness and a saline mineral note.
On the palate, it is dry and linear, with lively acidity and flavours of citrus, crisp orchard fruit and preserved lemon. Fermentation and maturation in large oak barrels add texture without masking the wine’s chalky, precise finish. The magnum format encourages slower development and helps preserve freshness over time.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this magnum is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy distinctive Jura whites with freshness, savoury detail and mineral structure. Pair it with grilled fish, oysters, roast chicken, mushroom dishes or aged Comté. Serve lightly chilled and enjoy now after a short decant, or cellar for the next 8–10 years.
