Crafted from Trousseau grapes sourced from the petite vineyard En Aspis in the village of Pupillin, where the soil is notably rich in clay. Following meticulous hand-harvesting, the wine undergoes a semi-carbonic maceration lasting 23 days. Unfiltered and unclarified, with no added sulphur. A true Trousseau Masterpiece.
Notes on the producer
Adeline Houillon and Renaud Bruyère moved to the little village of Pupillin (next to Arbois, in the Jura region) in 2011. Together, they started cultivating their now 5 hectares vineyard, following biodynamic principles. Although they have never tried to obtain the official Demeter certification, Adeline and Renaud still have adopted this philosophy for their estate. Here, the harvest is entirely done by hand, nothing gets added during the winemaking process, there's no filtration, no fining…
Adeline trained at the Domaine Pierre Overnoy, now managed by her brother Emmanuel since 2001. As for Renaud, he used to work for the Domaine Tissot. An impressive pedigree for such a young couple of winemakers, and their respect for the terroir (resulting in extremely high-quality wines) is recommendable as well. This all might explain why the bottles from the estate are sought-after by a lot of connoisseurs.
