VdF, Savagnin Ouille "La Pierre", Domaine La Grapp'A, 2022

£53.00

La Pierre is a very special bottling at La Grapp’A, produced in only two vintages so far: 2021 and 2022. The combination of a high-altitude vineyard and northern exposure brings remarkable freshness—one sip of the wine sends shivers down your spine. Now, after almost two years in bottle (February 2024), the wine shows depth, a touch of reduction, flinty notes, and a deep, herbal, smoky core. An incredibly good wine.

Aurelie Parla and Julien Maublanc created Domaine la Grapp’A with their first vintage in 2021. Although they are not newcomers since the 7ha vineyards has been in Julien’s family for generations. Based in the small village of Abergement-le-Grand 5kms outside of Arbois, they have been working organically for the past 15 years, but all their vineyards were contracted to the local cooperative (or fruitiere vinicole as it is called in the Jura). The vineyards are in immaculate conditions and although they are not born winemakers or learnt with famous names, they surely know how to farm! They have excellent plot around Arbois and Buvilly.
