From the book · Domaine Vellerin

Six years in the making

Vin Jaune is Savagnin left in barrels that are never topped up. A film of wild yeast, the voile, grows over the wine and guards it for at least five years, and it can't leave the cellar until six years and three months after harvest. It tastes of walnut, curry spice and salt, and the law allows one bottle for it: the 62 cl clavelin.

About Aldermoss

Aldermoss began with one trip to Arbois and a car boot full of wine nobody back home had tasted. Today we import from 38 small family estates in the Jura and the Alps, and still visit every one of them before a bottle goes in the book.
