Lucien Aviet Vin Jaune Cuvée de la Confrérie

Lucien Aviet - Caveau de Bacchus

Vin Jaune - Cuvée de la Confrérie 2013

Arbois AOC

France - Jura

Lucien Aviet's Vin Jaune is made with Savagnin grapes from several plots of land, but whose terroir is composed of grey marl. The grapes are harvested by hand and immediately pressed.
The wine is aged for 8 years in 228 litre barrels and demi-muids, under veil, according to a historical oxidative process. Indeed, the maturing of this wine is carried out without topping up, i.e. without completing the part of the wine that evaporates, better known as the famous "angels' share". A veil of yeast will then form on the surface of the wine, protecting it from rapid oxidation by avoiding direct contact with the air.
This slow, unique and mysterious process of elaboration gives this wine its typical aromas.
