Domaine la Grapp'A - Petit Chapeau - Savagnin 2023
Petit Chapeau Savagnin 2023 from Domaine de la Grapp’A is a Jura cuvée that is both free and precise, highlighting the direct expression of Savagnin in a pure and sincere style. The light yellow color with slightly golden reflections announces a bright and lively wine. The nose opens with clear aromas of fresh apple, pear, and lemon zest, complemented by delicate floral notes and a touch of wet stone. Upon aeration, more complex nuances of fresh hazelnut and almond appear, adding depth without ever tipping into oxidative notes. The whole is upright, readable, and very natural, true to the spirit of the domaine. From the first sniff, the wine imposes a sensation of freshness and frankness.
On the palate, the attack is frank and taut, supported by a structuring acidity that elegantly stretches the body. The texture is slender but offers a nice presence in the mid-palate, giving a harmonious balance between tension and volume. Flavors of white fruits and citrus continue over a precise, slightly saline mineral framework that adds relief and length. The natural vinification and measured aging fully respect the identity of the Savagnin, allowing the grape variety to express itself without embellishment. The palate remains fresh, digestible, and energetic from start to finish. The finish is long, straight, and mineral, marked by a fine noble bitterness.
Petit Chapeau Savagnin 2023 is a simple and sincere gastronomic wine, as comfortable at the table as in convivial tasting. It ideally accompanies grilled fish, roasted poultry, vegetarian cuisine, or lightly aged Jura cheeses. Its natural tension and drinkability also make it an excellent aperitif wine for lovers of straightforward and unadorned whites. Served around 11 to 12 °C, it fully reveals its brilliance and balance. Best enjoyed young to appreciate its freshness, while it can also evolve towards more mineral and polished notes. It is a free, precise, and lively Savagnin, emblematic of the committed style of Domaine de la Grapp’A.
