Domaine des Ronces Cuvee Georges Chardonnay Savagnin 2018
Style: White
Country: France
Brand: Domaine des Ronces
Region: Jura
Grape Variety: Chardonnay, Savagnin
Description: This distinctive white from Domaine des Ronces brings together the freshness and finesse of Chardonnay with the character-building aromatic intensity of Savagnin — two of Jura’s signature grapes — to create a terroir-driven expression that’s both nuanced and intriguing.Chardonnay and Savagnin are vinified and aged separately in small oak barrels under a veil (developing subtle oxidative notes), with the Savagnin often seeing longer élevage before blending. After barrel ageing of roughly 2–3 years, the components are assembled and bottled, resulting in a wine that combines mineral energy with toasty, nutty complexity. On the nose expect aromas of ripe orchard fruit, citrus peel, roasted nuts and bread crust, while the palate delivers rich textured layers, bright acidity and savory undercurrents balanced against subtle oxidative spice — a style rooted in Jura tradition yet showing refined balance.
