Producer: Maison Pierre Overnoy / Emmanuel Houillon
Colour: White
Grape varieties: Heida
Origin: Arbois-Pupillin, Jura, France

Overnoy/Houillon’s Vin Jaune is made entirely from Savagnin. It matures for at least 6 years and 3 months in cask beneath a layer of yeast (voile), without topping up, and is bottled without added sulphites; a wine of contemplation, tension and remarkable depth, with aromas of walnut, curry, saffron, dried apple, hay and oriental spices. It is dry and salty, with a very long, nutty finish. Traditionally, it is bottled in the 620-ml Clavelin bottle.
