Vin Jaune - Wine Style and Serving

Wine Style and Serving

Yellow wine ages extremely well. The wine will keep for a long time, and 50 to 100 years is not unheard of.

Vin jaune is often served at cellar temperature 13–15 °C (55–60 °F) and the wine is sometimes decanted, exposing it to more oxygen prior to serving in order to stimulate the wine's unique aromas. The wine can be paired with savory food dishes with local Jura cuisine often including chicken recipes where the wine is cooked with the chicken itself and as a sauce component. Another common pairing is the local Comté cheese that is produced in the Franche-Comté region.

Famous quotes containing the words wine, style and/or serving:

    “now
    I bring full-flavoured wine out of a barrel found
    Where seven Ephesian topers slept and never knew
    When Alexander’s empire passed, they slept so sound.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, can’t get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.”
    —Anzia Yezierska (c. 1881–1970)

    “A chaplain is the minister of the Prince of Peace serving the host of the God of War—Mars. As such, he is as incongruous as a musket would be on the altar at Christmas. Why, then, is he there? Because he indirectly subserves the purpose attested by the cannon; because too he lends the sanction of the religion of the meek to that which practically is the abrogation of everything but brute Force.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
