General Wine Description

Domaine des Murmures Savagnin 2019 is a pure and vibrant expression of 100% Savagnin, vinified with extreme minimalism. Fermented with native yeasts, aged on fine lees, and bottled without filtration or added sulfites, it captures the Jura’s characteristic minerality, tension, and elegance. Aromas of green apple, quince, citrus peel, and white flowers dominate, with subtle hints of almond, hazelnut, and gentle oxidative notes. The wine’s texture is silky yet precise, with lively acidity balancing its medium-bodied structure. The 2019 vintage is fresh, vibrant, and elegantly focused, highlighting the purity and aromatic depth of Savagnin.

Vineyard & Terroir

The grapes come from small, steep parcels in the Jura’s vineyards, planted on marl and limestone soils with excellent drainage. Altitudes range from 350 to 450 meters, favoring cool ripening and aromatic concentration. Biodynamic principles guide vineyard management: natural cover crops, hand pruning, and strict selection during harvest ensure only perfect fruit reaches the winery. These practices preserve the vineyard’s energy and enhance aromatic intensity despite low yields.

Winemaking & Natural Philosophy

Following Domaine des Murmures’ minimal-intervention ethos:

• Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted.

• Fermentation is spontaneous using indigenous yeasts.

• Aging occurs on fine lees for approximately 18–24 months in neutral oak barrels and tanks.

• No sulfites are added, and the wine is neither filtered nor fined.

This approach creates a wine that is vibrant, living, and fully expressive of its terroir, offering exceptional purity, minerality, and textural complexity.
