Savagnin: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''Savagnin''' is a white grape variety most closely associated with the [[Jura]] region of eastern [[France]], where it forms the basis of some of the country’s most distinctive and long-lived wines. Known for its high acidity, late ripening and resistance to oxidation, Savagnin is central to the production of traditional oxidative wine styles, most notably [[Vin jaune]].<ref>Robinson, Harding & Vouillamoz, ''Wine Grapes'', HarperCollins, 2012, ISBN 978-0062206367.</ref>

Savagnin is a late-budding and late-ripening variety, well suited to the cool continental climate of the Jura. It retains high natural acidity even at full ripeness and is relatively tolerant of oxidation, a trait that underpins its role in long-aged, oxidative wines.<ref>Jackson, ''Wine Science'', Academic Press, 2020, ISBN 978-0128161180.</ref>

Yields are typically moderate, and the grape performs best on [[marl (soil)|marl]] and [[limestone (soil)|limestone]] soils common to the region. Its thick skins contribute to phenolic structure and ageing capacity.
