Jura의 보석, 옐로우 와인 - 뱅 존(Vin Jaune)

 

뱅 존은 프랑스의 쥐라 지역에서 생산되는 옐로우 와인이다.

 

사바냥(Savagnin)품종 100% 로 만들며, 사바냥이 최대로 익었을때 수확 발효 후 오래된 부르고뉴의 오크베럴에 담아 6년간(법정기간 6년 3개월) 숙성을 한다.

그 6년 동안 증발과 산화가 진행이 되면서 스페인의 쉐리와인과 같은 효모막과 흡사한 막이 형성이 된다.
 

  

 

 

가장 유명한 와인으로 샤또-샬롱(Châeau Chalon)이 있다.
견과류 향이 강한 이 와인은 620㎖의 클라블랭(Clavelin)병에 담아 판매하게 된다. 
 

 

이 와인은 수십년간 장기보관 숙성이 가능하며 마시기 전 마개를 오픈하여 수시간에 걸쳐 공기와 접축시켜 주는것이 좋다.
 
매년 2월9~10에 오크통에 구멍을 내는 연례행사를 하는데(La Percé du vin jaune) 몇 만의 관광객이 모여 장관을 이룬다.
