2020 Domaine de Saint Pierre Arbois Savagnin Autrement Jura, France
$150.00
One of Fabrice Dodane’s most coveted bottlings—produced only when vintage conditions allow—Autrement is a long-élevage, ouillé Savagnin drawn from a 1981-planted parcel on marl-rich slopes. Fruit is direct-pressed, then aged 45 months in 500L used barrels, a regime that builds depth without oxidative character.
The 2020 is a benchmark expression of ouillé Savagnin: citrus oil, preserved lemon, and white orchard fruit layered over a saturated chalk–marl mineral core, with subtle nutmeg and herbal inflections emerging from extended élevage. Texture is sleek but concentrated, acidity laser-cut, and the finish long, saline, and quietly powerful. A rare, precision-driven Jura white that shows just how profound Savagnin can be under Dodane’s patient, detail-obsessed hand.
