Traminer is Savagnin

Traminer is an old, local name for the grape variety Savagnin, which Stéphane chose as a tribute for this wine. The Traminer / Savagnin is raised here reductively with the so-called ouillé technique. In this technique, the barrels are constantly refilled to prevent oxidation by oxygen. This is in fact the standard way of making wine worldwide.
The Jura is also known for white non-ouillé wines, not filled up. These wines get an oxidative sherry-like, nutty taste. This can be from both Savagnin and Chardonnay. The label often says Tradition .
