Chardonnay with a bit of Savagnin from parcels planted in clay and limestone soils made in the topped-up, or ouillé, style of winemaking. Organic farming, plus biodynamic preparations. The vines are in Guillot trained. No chemical treatment or weed killers are used. The only treatments used are sulphur and copper. Lovely lovely stuff!
Notes on the producer
After studying enology in Beaune and working several years at the cooperative in Pupillin, Fabrice Dodane started working at Domaine de Saint Pierre in 1989 as manager. Fabrice took full control of the estate in 2011 after the untimely death of the former owner. The winery is based in the small town of Matheny and covers approximately 6ha in the Arbois and Côtes du Jura AOCs with the vines planted in limestone and marl soils. Saint Pierre achieved organic certification in 2012, having started conversion in 2002. All wines are fermented with native yeasts either in tank or neutral barrel. Vinifications for the reds are done without the addition of sulphur, and the whites are done flawlessly in both the traditional sous voile method, as well as topped-up, or ouillé style.
