I recently tasted through Croix et Courbet's lineup and was completely shocked by the quality.
Their work with the Savagnin grape will be very exciting to watch.

Croix et Courbet is the result of the combined force of David Croix and Damien Courbet. The two met in enology school in Dijon. Damien returned to his family's domaine in Jura and David went to work in Burgundy, quickly becoming one of the most highly regarded winemakers of his generation.
Damien has played an essential part in finding choice sites and both collaborate in winemaking decisions. Their focus is on the Savagnin grape made in a non-oxidative fashion.
Today, I'm very happy to offer an absolutely beautiful example of their work, the 2019 Côtes du Jura.
The 2019 Côtes du Jura combines power with a soaring complexity. I was impressed by the wine's stony texture and wallop of acidity. There's a seamless weave of spice, citrus, herbs, and stone fruits. The wine's finesse and overall composition really stand out.
This is one of the most intriguing and sophisticated expressions of the Savagnin grape that I've tasted. I suggest that you pick up a specially priced 4-pack. This is a bottle that offers endless fascination.
