In addition, Vin Jaune is put into originally shaped bottles called clavelin. A clavelin is a wine bottle which contains 62 centilitres and is only used to bottle” Yellow Wine” since the 18^th Century. The Clavelin has become an emblem of Vin Jaune and even the Jura.

Vin Jaune is a wine that can be kept, which means that it can be kept several years in a bottle. In starred gastronomic restaurants’ wine cellars, bottles of Vin Jaune dating back several decades are frequently found.

Naturally, the longer the conservation the more elaborate and unusual the variety of flavours. It is interesting to note that some bottles of “Yellow Wine” have been sold at auction for several tens of thousands of Euros. Amongst them a Vintage Vin Jaune dating back to 1774 which was still of very good quality despite its great age. So, in starred gastronomic restaurants, and wine cellars Vintage Vin Jaune is very often found.
