WINE DESCRIPTION

Frédéric Lornet Naturé Arbois is a distinct white wine from the Jura region, crafted from the local Savagnin grape, often called "Naturé" in the area.

Frédéric Lornet is committed to natural winemaking, employing minimal intervention and biodynamic practices to allow the Savagnin grape to fully express its unique character. This approach highlights the pure essence of the Jura’s traditional winemaking, resulting in a vibrant and authentic wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Frédéric Lornet Naturé Arbois opens with aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and almonds, accompanied by subtle notes of herbs and a hint of oxidation typical of Jura whites.On the palate, the wine is bright, linear, and mineral-driven, with layers of lemon, quince, and a touch of nuttiness. The finish is funky and intriguing, with a oxidative edge that adds complexity and character. This natural wine will continue to develop with time, offering a more nuanced expression of the Jura’s unique terroir.
