Precise, mineral Savagnin from Arbois made in the ouillé style — topped up, non-oxidative, and nothing like the nutty, oxidised Jura whites that put people off the grape. This is Savagnin at its most focused.

Savagnin • Arbois • Ouillé • Organic • Zero added sulphites

Evelyne and Pascal Clairet built Domaine de la Tournelle in 1991 around a simple commitment: make honest wines from Arbois's most characterful varieties with as little intervention as possible. The Fleur de Savagnin — "the flower" — comes from 100% Savagnin on grey marl soils, hand-harvested with careful bunch selection and pneumatically pressed whole-cluster. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in old 228-litre barrels, no sulphur added at any point, topped up regularly for at least 18 months to preserve freshness, then bottled according to the Maria Thun lunar calendar.

The result is tense, saline, and alive — the kind of wine that shows more the longer it sits in the glass.
