Domaine des Cavarodes - Savagnin Cuvée 2023
The Domaine des Cavarodes, located in Cramans in the heart of the Côtes du Jura, is managed by Emmanuelle and Jean-Michel Petit, key figures in the Jura revival. The estate is recognized for its demanding and sensitive approach, based on organic viticulture and a constant pursuit of accuracy in expressing the terroirs. The Savagnin Cuvée comes from different plots of the estate, planted on marl soils characteristic of the Jura, which give the wine its structure and depth. This cuvée aims to offer a refined and balanced interpretation of Savagnin, the emblematic grape variety of the region. It is part of an artisanal approach where each vintage is worked with precision and humility. The Jura climatic context, marked by strong temperature variations, plays a central role in the natural tension of the wine.
The Savagnin Cuvée 2023 expresses a complex and nuanced aromatic profile, blending notes of ripe citrus, fresh apple, and white flowers, with added mineral and slightly spicy touches. The palate is structured and energetic, supported by a frank acidity that gives the wine a beautiful length. The body is dense without heaviness, gradually revealing a depth typical of the grape variety. The texture is straight and precise, with a chalky sensation that highlights the marl origin of the soils. The aging is conducted with restraint to preserve the identity of the Savagnin and the clarity of the terroir. Overall, it offers a balanced, tense, and very expressive wine.
The 2023 vintage stands out for its freshness and its ability to evolve favorably over time. This cuvée naturally pairs with river fish, white meats, or cuisines with delicate and refined flavors. It can also be appreciated on its own, to grasp all the complexity of Savagnin in a precise and authentic expression. The finish is long, saline, and persistent, extending the sensation of tension and energy. Savagnin Cuvée embodies a demanding and sincere vision of Jura wine. It is a characterful cuvée, faithful to the style of Domaine des Cavarodes. A racé and deeply terroir-rooted wine.
