Pignier
Pignier produces wines from Jura, a region in eastern France known for distinctive white and red varieties grown on limestone and marl soils. The winery's portfolio centers on Savagnin and Trousseau, grapes native to the region that express its mineral character and cool-climate intensity. The Vin Jaune Côtes du Jura, made from Savagnin, represents the region's most iconic expression—a dry, oxidative white aged under flor yeast that develops complex nutty and spice notes. Les Gauthières Trousseau showcases the dark-skinned variety's capacity for structure and subtle tannin, while the Savagnin Côtes du Jura offers a more direct encounter with the grape's aromatic and textural range. Decanter, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast have rated these wines.
