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.

Region: Jura
Jura is a small wine region in eastern France, with a unique terroir and a long history of winemaking. Jura is bordered by Switzerland and the Rhône-Alpes region. It is known for its distinctive white wines, made from the local Savagnin grape, as well as its reds and rosés.
Jura has been producing wine since the Roman era, and its winemaking tradition has been passed down through the generations. In the Middle Ages, the region was known for its sweet wines, which were popular throughout Europe. In the 19th century, the region began to focus on dry wines, and the local Savagnin grape became the main variety used.CUSTOMER RATING
