2020 Francois Rousset-Martin Cuvee du Proffeseur Savagnin

Francois Rousset is producing some of the most captivating wines in the Jura right now. Launching his winery in 2006 in the Chateau Chalon appellation, Francois labels his wines as Cotes du Jura since he makes them in a non-oxidative ouillé or topped-up style. Vinified by parcel, the farming is organic-certified with little to no sulphur and bottled unfined and unfiltered.

The 2020 Savagnin Cuvée du Professeur has a noble reduction, flinty and smoky like gunpowder, and still spicy, with some subtle curry. There's a fine balance between reduction and oxidation. This takes the best from both worlds and is fine-boned and elegant, with contained ripeness and vibrant acidity. It's very tasty and has a smoky aftertaste. He has three hectares in Sous Roche and can produce some 10,000 bottles (in 2022, there'll be 15,000!). Drink 2024-2035.

The complex 2020 Savagnin Côtes du Jura Cuvée du Professeur unwinds with prominent notes of saffron, dried chamomile, ripe pear, yellow apple and a touch of jasmine. Powerful and concentrated, the 2020 is a transparent reflection of the warm vintage, but the steely acidity cuts through like a scalpel, flawlessly preserving freshness. Focused, persistent and saline on the finish, the 2020 is simply awesome. Drink 2024-2035.
