ABOUT THIS WINE
Vin Jaune, or “yellow wine,” is a unique style crafted from 100% Savagnin, aged under a veil of yeast (sous voile) in oak barrels for over six years without topping up. This traditional process imparts oxidative complexity while preserving freshness. Domaine Baud's Château-Chalon appellation is among the most revered for Vin Jaune, benefiting from marl-limestone soils that lend the wine its intense minerality and finesse. The 2017 vintage showcases a perfect balance of structure and aromatic depth, designed to age gracefully for decades.
