Domaine de la Tournelle Vin de Paille A l'aube 0.375L 2009

Domaine de la Tournelle Vin de Paille “À l’aube” 2009 is a beautifully crafted sweet wine in the traditional Jura style, offering remarkable concentration and finesse in a half-bottle format. Made from dried grapes, it captures the region’s long heritage of patient, artisanal dessert winemaking in a bottle that feels both rare and deeply authentic.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep amber to burnished golden color, hinting at its richness and age. The nose is layered and expressive, with aromas of dried apricot, fig, honey, candied citrus peel, toasted nuts, and warm spice, often with a subtle oxidative Jura character that adds extra complexity. On the palate, it is lush and concentrated, balancing sweetness with freshness and lively acidity. Expect flavors of caramelized stone fruit, quince paste, orange marmalade, roasted almond, and a long, refined finish. Thanks to its structure and natural acidity, it can age gracefully for many years, developing even more nutty, savory depth over time.

Production
Vin de Paille is a traditional Jura specialty made from grapes dried on straw mats or racks to concentrate sugar, flavor, and acidity before pressing. Domaine de la Tournelle is known for working with meticulous, low-intervention methods, and this cuvée reflects the region’s terroir-driven approach, where careful handling and slow concentration are central to the wine’s identity.

Food & Serving
This style is excellent with blue cheese, foie gras, tarte Tatin, fruit tarts, or desserts built around nuts, caramel, and dried fruit. Serve lightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a brief aeration can help open the aromas if the wine has been resting for a long time.
