Arbois Savagnin Le Clos 2020 represents the pinnacle of Jean-François Ganevat's single-parcel winemaking philosophy, crafted exclusively from old Savagnin vines rooted in grey marl soils covered with limestone scree. This south-facing parcel in the Arbois appellation benefits from shelter against cold winds, imparting remarkable tension and deep minerality. The wine undergoes natural vinification using direct pressing and indigenous yeasts, followed by over three years of lees aging in neutral demi-muids with regular topping up to prevent oxidation. Bottled without fining, filtration, or sulfur additions, this biodynamic cuvée exemplifies pure terroir expression with extraordinary aging potential spanning decades.

After five years of maturation, the nose reveals precise aromatics of blood orange, candied quince, toasted almonds, and smoky notes alongside verbena, star anise, and citrus. The voluminous palate displays intense minerality with iodized, pastry-like nuances, white flowers, sweet spices, almond, and honey, finishing with immense persistence and vibrant acidity.
