ARNAUD GREINER
Lavenard 2022
Jura, France
This thrillingly unique expression of Savagnin comes from an eighty year old vineyard planted over limestone in Liesle. The grapes were pressed directly to old barrels, where they rested for eighteen months. The result is a delicate and detailed expression of the grape that is perfumed with exotic spice, whilst remaining mineral and fine. A wine of impeccable balance from one of the region’s brightest talents.
Please note there is a limit of one bottle per customer.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Arnaud Greiner farms just under a hectare of old vines planted over six remote parcels and a variety of terroirs around his home in Liesle.
The micro-plots are spread out between the Jura and the neighbouring Doubs and planted with a heady mix of Chardonnay, Savagnin, Melon à Queue-Rouge, Ploussard, Pinot Noir, Trousseau, Gamay and ancient varieties.
Arnaud’s day job is working alongside Etienne Thiebaud of Domaine des Cavarodes, and needless to say, much like his mentor, Arnaud works with great respect for nature in the vines. Tending them by horse and hand, he works organically and with a real sensitivity.
Our years of tasting in the cellar with Arnaud have revealed one of the most talented young vignerons in the Jura. Built on a backbone of pristine fruit, his wines are uncommonly pure, displaying a subtle elegance and gentle focus. It is a real pleasure to share them with you.
