Vin Jaune 2011 – Domaine de la Renardiere

100% Savagnin. The Vin Jaune is made in a similar method to the Savagnin Sous-Voile however it spends longer under the veil of yeast. The AOC laws state that no racking or handling can take place and the wine must spend a minimum of 6 years in barrel. The earliest release is allowed 7 years after the harvest and must be bottled in a classic 62cl clavelin bottle. Jean Michel says once opened Vin Jaune can be kept for at least 6 months, the distinctive nutty flavours would be perfect to pair with another speciality of the region: Comté and Coq au Vin Jaune!
