Savagnin is a distinctive white grape variety most closely associated with France’s Jura region, where it produces wines of real character, texture and longevity. Naturally low in aromatic fruit, it is prized for its savoury depth, saline edge and ability to develop complex nutty, oxidative notes with age.

Often compared to Chardonnay, Savagnin is firmer and more structured, with higher acidity and a pronounced mineral profile shaped by Jura’s limestone and marl soils. It is the key grape behind some of the region’s most iconic styles, including the traditional oxidative wines that define Jura’s identity.
