An unusual blend (20% poulsard in here) but mostly comes off as a relatively straightforward en ouille savagnin-forward wine with the usual raisin notes of that grape, and some tropical fruits and stone fruits on the finish.

I quite like this. Very unique interpretation of the savagnin grape, light oxidation but not bracing, so you get a mix of that raisin-y savagnin expression with a bit of the classic Jura funk, but lacking the aggressive bite you see in the truly oxidative savagnins of the region. Slightly sweet but not overly so and no more than savagnin should be. Could use a couple more years in the cellar but tasty now.
