The 2019 Domaine de Montbourgeau L'Etoile Savagnin comes from 90-year-old vines rooted in grey and blue marl soils. Hand-harvested late, the wine ages 3-4 years in oak barrels and demi-muids without topping up, developing complexity and the signature oxidative style. A "baby Vin Jaune," it offers a vibrant expression of Jura's unique terroir and tradition.
