The vines for Oh Yeah grow at 300 metres above sea level on grey and blue marls, the mineral-rich soils that give Jura Savagnin its distinctive tension. In the traditional old Jura method, Savagnin is left in partially-filled barrels to become used to oxygen under a film of yeast (sous voile), developing the walnut-and-curry character most often seen with Vin Jaune. The Ouillé approach keeps the barrels topped, protecting the wine from oxygen entirely, the result is something fresher, more aromatic, and more immediately drinkable. This is the usual way of making wine nowadays across France and most of the world.. but the Jura old style method is what was known as traditional because this is what the region used to be known for (and still is, but these wines are less common now)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo most wines are made in this topped up style way today, but it is interesting it needs to be referenced because Jura is (or was) so famed for oxidative wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOh Yeah is 85% Savagnin, 15% Chardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e.
