How it tastes
In the glass
Vibrant and mineral-driven Savagnin with citrus, green apple, and a taut, focused energy.
Profile
Nose
Citrus peel, green apple, subtle herbal spice.
Palate
Aromatic layers of the same fruit anchored by a pronounced mineral edge. Lively, incisive acidity gives the wine taut, focused energy, while the texture is smooth yet firm, adding breadth without heaviness.
Finish
Clean and persistent, with gentle saline notes and lingering orchard fruit.
“A non-oxidative expression of Savagnin shaped by Sud-Revermont marls.”

Where it's from · Jura, France
TRENAL
The wines of Domaine Thill come from the Côtes du Jura appellation, planted around Trenal and nearby Gevingey, in the Sud Revermont of the Jura — a cooler inland region where marl, clay, and limestone soils provide structure and salinity, and vineyard sites benefit from sun‑exposure and hillside airflow.

Good to know
Questions we get a lot
Is this a natural wine?
All our wines come from small growers who farm organically or biodynamically and keep intervention in the cellar to a minimum: native yeasts, little or no added sulphites. Every producer has their own approach; the details are in “From the vineyard to the bottle” above.
Why is it a bit cloudy, or is there sediment?
Many of our wines are bottled unfiltered. A light haze or some sediment is natural and harmless: stand the bottle upright for a few hours and pour gently.
How long does it keep once open?
It depends on the wine (see “Once open” above). As a rule: cork back in and keep it in the fridge, reds included.
