Francois Rousset-Martin, Cuvee du Professeur 2018

Description

From the Wine Advocate (talking about the 2017 vintage): “The lieu-dit underneath the big rock of Chateau Chalon is the best known and most prestigious, and it’s the source for the Cotes du Jura Savagnin Cuvee du Professeur Sous Roche. This Savagnin would have the right to be called Chateau Chalon if it was aged sous voile for six years, but because it matured in topped-up barrels for 14 to 16 months, it’s a Cotes du Jura, a choice of Russet-Martin. It matured in oak barrels from Burgundy, and it’s faintly oxidative. Cuvee du Professeur makes reference to his father who still owns this vineyard.”
