Frédéric Cossard Feel Good Jura 2020 Savagnin

A medium bodied white - rich, zesty and full of power. Made with 100% savagnin grapes from the south of jura. Natural, organic and manually harvested.

It is vinified in the Burgundian style but crucially swaps out oak to spend 1 year on lees in qvevris, large concrete eggs. Federic made this decision to maximise mineral content. It results in a white Burgundy that is unusually juicy and pure.

Jura A small wine region in Eastern france, sandwiched between Burgundy in the west and Switzerland in the east. Characterised by a landscape of wooded hillsides and twisting Jura mountains. The grapes in this bottle are from Southern Jura and they are vinified in Saint Romain, Burgundy hence why it is a Vin de France.

Tasting notes: salted nuts, green apple, white peach, chalk
