2019 Overnoy Cotes du Jura Savagnin Ouille

Guillaume Overnoy's Savagnin Ouillé represents a modern interpretation of Jura winemaking, departing from traditional oxidative methods by topping up barrels throughout aging to prevent headspace. This style, promoted by Pierre Overnoy's uncle, has evolved into the modern 'Ouillé' approach. Guillaume returned to his family's estate in Beaufort-Orbagna in 2013, converting six hectares to organic viticulture. This wine is produced from 0.8 hectares over three parcels located in Orbagna (En Poinot) and Cesancey, grown on red marl soils. Aged for three years in old 500-liter barrels with extended lees contact, fermented with native yeasts and bottled without sulfur, unfined and unfiltered, it exemplifies the estate's commitment to minimal intervention and purity-driven winemaking in the Côtes du Jura appellation.
