About
Jean Bourdy Côtes du Jura "Savagnin" 2018 is a dry white wine, crafted exclusively from the Savagnin grape, grown in the Côtes du Jura appellation of the Jura region in eastern France. This wine reflects the traditional winemaking practices of Jean Bourdy, a family estate with a history dating back to 1475, known for producing wines that showcase the unique terroir and aging potential of the Jura. The 2018 vintage exemplifies the characteristic oxidative style of Savagnin, offering a complex and distinctive profile.
Producer
The Burdi family has been involved in winemaking since 1475. Their estates are located in the Jura department, east and south and from the Cote d'Or. Burdi grows grapes of the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Trousseau and Poulsard varieties. It is important to note that they produce some of the best storage wines at the lowest prices in the world. Many critics have compared Bourdy's red (a blend of Pinot Noir, Trousseau and Poulsard) and white (Chardonnay) wines to the excellent Burgundy (often referred to as Montrachet, Gevrey and Chambolle appellations). Despite the fact that Bourdy wines are just as wonderful (sometimes even more wonderful) and similar to Burgundy, Bourdy does not try to repeat them. Bourdy wines convey the character of the grapes and the place where they grew, and also speak for themselves and deserve high recognition - sans comparaison. Bourdy always retains some of the wines of the harvest year in order to offer a more mature wine later. They use the old-school method of winemakers - at first a small part of the production each year is sold at the initial price, and the rest is stored in the cellar after 3-6 months, where the cost of wine rises every 12 months. Thus, Bourdy offers Rouge and Blanc wines, which were produced at the beginning of the last century, but at a significantly higher price.
Tasting notes
Jean Bourdy Côtes du Jura “Savagnin” 2018 reveal a rich bouquet of green apple, walnuts, and dried fruits, intertwined with notes of fresh herbs and a hint of curry spice. On the palate, it presents a lively acidity and a full-bodied texture, with flavors of lemon zest, almond, and a touch of salinity, leading to a long, intriguing finish. This wine is celebrated for its depth, complexity, and the unique expression of the Savagnin grape.
Pairing
Jean Bourdy Côtes du Jura “Savagnin” 2018 pairs beautifully with Comté cheese, mushroom dishes, or roasted poultry, where its acidity and rich flavors complement the savory and umami elements. It also enhances the flavors of seafood, such as scallops or lobster, providing a refreshing contrast and elevating the overall dining experience with its distinctive and complex profile.

Savagnin
Savagnin (not to be confused with Sauvignon blanc) is white wine grape variety with green-skinned berries. It can produce different styles of wines, from refreshing sparkling and fruity whites to intensive oxidative Vin Jaune with nutty bouquet.
Jura is a small wine-growing region in eastern France that is responsible for both traditional and very unique oxidative wine styles. The region is located between Western Burgundy and Eastern Switzerland and is characterized by a wooded and hilly landscape, twisted by the relief of the Jura mountains. In the production of local wines, five main grape varieties are used: three authentic and two international. The first of the local varieties is Poulsard, a red grape that accounts for about one-fifth of the region's plantings. Trousseau is another indigenous red variety that needs a lot of sunlight. White Savagnin is found throughout the region. They also create wines from the well-known Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varieties.
