2008 Domaine Dugois Vin Jaune Arbois

A high-quality vin jaune for this price is unheard of stateside. It is produced by aging Savagnin wine in barrel ‰ÛÏunder the veil‰۝ for over six years without topping it off. This results in an air bubble as the wine evaporates and a thick layer of yeast on the top, the veil, that imparts it with a rich bouquet of walnuts, butterscotch, apricots and lemon meringue. It is complex and opulent on the palate, with flavors of soft cheese, citron, almonds and dried apricots. This is the perfect aperitif to pair with a cheese and charcuterie plate.
