Savagnin is a white grape variety primarily grown in the Jura region of eastern France. It is known for its high acidity and unique flavor profile, which can include notes of nuts, spices, and citrus. This grape is often used to produce both still and sparkling wines, with the most famous being the oxidative style known as Vin Jaune. The Savagnin grape is distinct from the more widely known Sauvignon Blanc, despite the similarity in name. It thrives in cooler climates and is typically harvested late to enhance its complexity. The wines made from Savagnin are celebrated for their aging potential and ability to develop rich, layered flavors over time.
