## About this wine

François Rousset-Martin grew up in Beaune, where his father worked as a microbiologist for the Hospices de Beaune. After earning his degree in oenology in 2002, he returned to his family's roots in Nevy-sur-Seille and established his estate in 2007. The name Oxy « More » is a play on the word oxymoron and a humorous joke by Rousset-Martin. While he built his modern reputation primarily on topped-up (ouillé) Jura whites, this cuvée is his deliberate homage to traditional oxidative aging under a veil of yeast.

## Interesting facts

- The name Oxy « More » is a play on 'oxymoron', referencing an oxidative wine from a producer famous for non-oxidative whites.
- This wine is aged under a protective yeast film (sous voile) for four full years without barrel topping up.
- Winemaker François Rousset-Martin holds an oenology degree and combines a background in microbiology with natural winemaking.

## Food pairing

The wine's piercing acidity and full-bodied oxidative structure effortlessly cut through rich cream sauces, buttery reduction, and dense aged cheeses, while its nutty complexity harmonizes with earthy truffles and mushrooms.

## Wine making process

Grown on steep slopes below Château-Chalon featuring calcareous grey marl and limestone scree soils. Vines range from 25 to over 60 years of age and are farmed organically. Fermentation takes place naturally with indigenous yeasts in neutral oak casks. The wine is aged sous voile (under a yeast film) for four years (Voile N°4) without barrel topping up in cool, damp cellars. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with no added SO2.
