The opening of the vin jaune or ‘yellow wine’ is back for a new edition.It’s a great opportunity to taste this wine made from Savignin grapes, which is produced in a unique way: once its fermentation process is complete, the wine is matured for six years and three months in an oak cask. Wearing official, gold-tinted garments, the ambassadors escort the cask, containing 228 litres of yellow wine, to the podium where it is offically opened.
