Les Pieds sur Terre – Valentin Morel Savagnin En Boutasse Maceration 2023 white

Les Pieds sur Terre – Valentin Morel Savagnin En Boutasse Maceration 2023 is a distinctive Jura orange wine that shows Savagnin in a more textured, aromatic style. Produced by Valentin Morel under the Domaine Morel – Les Pieds sur Terre label, it reflects the region’s long tradition of making characterful wines from indigenous grapes with a strong sense of place.

Tasting Notes
Expect a luminous amber-gold colour and a wine that immediately signals its skin-contact style. The nose is layered and expressive, with notes of dried citrus peel, orchard fruit, herbs, tea, spice, and a subtle oxidative nuance typical of Savagnin handled with care. On the palate, it is dry, structured, and energetic, with a tactile grip from the maceration balanced by freshness and precise acidity. Flavours of quince, apricot, chamomile, nuts, and gentle salinity unfold in a long finish. While enjoyable now for its vivid personality, it should also hold well over the next few years as its complexity deepens.

Production
Made from Savagnin grown in Jura, a region known for its cool climate, limestone and marl soils, and its exceptional suitability for mineral, high-acid white varieties. The maceration method gives the wine its amber colour and added phenolic structure, while careful cellar work preserves balance and finesse. The combination of Jura terroir and skin contact results in a wine that is both distinctive and deeply rooted in local tradition.

Food & Serving
This style works beautifully with dishes that can stand up to its texture and aromatic depth, such as roast chicken, mushrooms, Comté, aged hard cheeses, charcuterie, spiced poultry, or Asian-inspired dishes with umami and gentle heat. Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider a short decant if you want the aromatics to open further.

Producer
Domaine Morel – Les Pieds sur Terre is associated with Valentin Morel, a thoughtful Jura producer known for crafting wines with a natural, terroir-driven approach. His work highlights the individuality of Savagnin and the expressive potential of the Jura, contributing to the region’s reputation for small-scale, artisanal wines with strong identity and authenticity.
