Description
Cotillon des dames 2024 is a natural wine crafted by , in the Savoie region in . This wine is made with , and grapes.
Côtillon des Dames is one of Jean-Yves’ signature skin-contact whites, a blend of Jacquère, Altesse and Roussanne from two very different plots: one in Albertville on mica-schist soils, the other in Fréterive on limestone scree.
The whole bunches are usually macerated on the skins for up to two months, with regular pigeage, and the wine is then aged for a year in 300L barrels. Native yeasts and no added sulphites. The 2024 comes in at 10% alcohol.
This shows real texture and structure, with angular tannins that open up into soft, bruised fruit and a rounded finish. A wine to take your time with, and a great example of what makes Savoie orange wine so exciting.
This wine is a ‘fast drinker’ and needs to be drunk quick. Best to age for more of a longer experience
