Ouillé (topped up). Dancer now sources his Savagnin from a conscientious farmer in Rotalier, the same town as Gavenat and Julien Labet. The vines sit on chalk clay over Bajocian limestone subsoil. Emphasising purity and terroir rather than flor-aging notes, the winemaking involves direct pressing into large oak barrels, with no racking until the completion of fermentation, followed by a settling period in stainless-steel tanks before bottling. The resulting wine is superb and another step up from the inaugural 2021 release. It’s a mouth-wateringly racy, low pH-driven wine, yet with good texture and a lingering lime and verbena scented close. Magic. Drive, length and finesse: a talented Burgundy grower’s take on the Jura.
