ABOUT THIS WINE
Domaine des Carlines En Beaumont Savagnin 2022 is a white wine from the Jura region of France, made from 100% Savagnin grapes. The wine hails from the 'En Beaumont' plot, a small, southeast-facing vineyard situated on grey marl soils, where the vines are approximately 40 years old. While the vineyard is within the Château-Chalon appellation, the wine is classified as Côtes du Jura because it is produced in an 'ouillé' style, meaning the barrels are topped up to prevent oxidation, distinguishing it from the traditional oxidative Vin Jaune. Domaine des Carlines was established in 2015 by Patrick and Sophie Ligeron, who are dedicated to organic and sustainable farming practices and a philosophy of minimal intervention in their winemaking. The 2022 vintage is noted for its youthful fruitiness and balanced structure.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Domaine des Carlines En Beaumont Savagnin 2022 begins with hand-harvested grapes. Fermentation is spontaneous, utilizing indigenous yeasts, and takes place in barrels. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 to 18 months on its lees in used Burgundian oak barrels. A key technique employed is the 'ouillé' method, where barrels are consistently topped up to prevent oxidation and maintain freshness, thus avoiding the oxidative character associated with Vin Jaune. This approach is part of the producer's commitment to minimal intervention and organic, sustainable practices.
