Tasting notes
Domaine de la Borde's Vin Jaune from Arbois Pupillin, France, is a white wine known for its complex and unique flavor profile. It's made from Savagnin grapes and features intense, nutty, and sometimes even cheesy or yeasty notes, along with hints of dried fruits and spices. The aging process, which involves extended maturation under a layer of flor (a yeast bloom), contributes to the wine's characteristic oxidized, toasty, and caramel-like flavors, similar to a dry Fino Sherry.
