1 bottle ARBOIS "vin jaune", J. Puffeney 1996 Vin jaune is the emblematic wine of the Jura region. Made from the Savagnin grape variety, it is aged for over six years in oak barrels without topping up, leaving a natural veil of yeast to protect the wine and give it its unique character. This long ageing process develops typical aromas of nuts, spices and dried fruit, as well as a remarkable capacity for ageing. The house of Jacques Puffeney, at Montigny-lès-Arsures in the Arbois appellation, is one of the Jura's most respected estates. Nicknamed "the Pope of Arbois", Jacques Puffeney has made a name for himself with his highly traditional vinifications and his wines of great authenticity. The 1996 and 1997 vintages, now at full maturity, illustrate the complexity and depth that great yellow wines can achieve after long years of maturation. They are presented in the traditional 62-cl clavelin bottle, unique to this appellation.
