Savagnin - Domaine Overnoy-Houillon 2006 - Tasting & Food pairing
A Jura yellow wine from an indigenous grape variety and a respectable vintage
The 2006 vintage was marked by a cold, wet winter, followed by a cool, rainy spring. The summer was hot and dry, with ideal conditions for ripening the grapes. Harvesting took place between September 3 and 22. This vintage is considered respectable, without reaching the exceptionality of 2000.
The wine is a 100% Savagnin from vines located in the commune of
Arbois Pupillin. It has been aged for 6 years and 3 months in oak barrels.
Colour: Intense golden yellow with golden highlights
Nose: Complex, intense aromas of dried fruit (walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds), honey, spices (curry, turmeric), dried white flowers and oxidative notes (mushroom, undergrowth). Aromatic expression may vary according to bottle and storage conditions.
Palate: Powerful, full-bodied wine, with good acidity for freshness and a long, persistent finish. It may have slightly bitter notes characteristic of Savagnin vinified as yellow wine.
Ageing : Savagnin is a wine for long ageing. You can enjoy it now, but it will evolve positively in the cellar for several years, even decades.
Food and wine pairing :
- Complex, richly flavored dishes: roast poultry with morel mushrooms, grilled fish in beurre blanc sauce, hard cheeses (Comté, Beaufort), nut and mushroom dishes.
- Its structure and oxidative character also make it a perfect match for spicy Asian dishes.
