Vin Jaune - 2014 - Tony Bornard

100% Savagnin, certified organic and biodynamic. This wine was placed in a Burgundian barrel, ouillé or topped up the first year to maintain the fruit aromas and then left without topping up while maturing in a cold cellar, so as not to accelerate the process, for more than 6 years (8 for this one!). A kind of flor/veil forms on the surface of the barrel which nourishes and protects the wine during this period. 1/3 of the total volume evaporates. After this period, "la percée" or breaking of the veil can take place, when the wine bottled.
