Traminer is the local name for Savagnin and Stephane uses it here as a homage to the grape. This is the topped up style of Savagnin( Ouille ), so no oxidative notes here.
A clean, fresh and serious wine, with a touch of waxiness on the palate and an exceptional mineral finish.
'The 2016 Arbois Traminer shows nice concentration and intensity. I adore the freshness and the length, it has everything one expects from a dry Savagnin (the name is a bit of a provocation, something Stéphane Tissot likes). This is the only Savagnin ouillé produced in 2016, as they are focusing on the production of vin jaune. This is varietal, clean, fresh and dry, serious and really tasty. It's a shame they don't make more of this style, because it's a wine I love. 9,000 bottles produced.' Luis Gutierrez
