Valentin Morel, Bois D'Arnaux Ouille 'Savagnin' 2020 Chillable Benchmark orange wine

Benchmark orange wine

lightly oxy stuff can be off putting for some

Tastes kind of like Five Alive

Prominent red fruit flavours are kepy well and truly in line by a pulsating acid line

A steal considering the absolutely hectic nature of this wine

Valentin Morel, Bois D'Arnaux Ouille 'Savagnin' 2020 Chillable Benchmark orange winePlace: Jura, France Grape: Chardonnay Vibe: Delightful A personal favourite vineyard, this time without maceration. Grey and blue marls atop some serious limestone. Chalky and lactic on the nose, before a crisp, orchard led palate. I cant quite put my finger on what makes my pulse race so much about Valentins work. Rock solid and incredibly stable too, I tasted on day 4, and it was superb. Watching this evolve over a few days should be a real treat.
