Jura, France · White Wine · Medium Bodied

The 1966 in the name is the planting year, which tells you what Jean-Michel and Laurence Petit think matters here. These are among the oldest vines on their seven and a half hectares in Arbois-Pupillin, farmed organically since 2010 and certified from 2012. Old vines give less fruit and concentrate what they do give, and it shows in density rather than in weight. Orchard fruit and citrus peel with a nutty edge, a real chalky grip through the middle, and a long saline finish. There is considerably more here than the first sip lets on, so give it time in the glass.

Pairing Suggestions

Vines planted in 1966, which is most of the reason this bottle exists.
It has depth enough for richer seafood: steamed threadfin, or prawns in butter.
Or a chicken roasted slowly, with all the juices poured back over it.

About Domaine de la Renardière

The village of Pupillin plays host to Domaine de la Renardière, where Jean-Michel Petit quietly crafts some of Jura’s finest wines. Since establishing the domaine in 1990, Jean-Michel has built his 7.5 hectares into a haven for both red and white varietals, with a lineup of equal parts red (Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Trousseau) and white (mostly Chardonnay with a bit of Savagnin). Jean-Michel has been farming organically since 2003, earning full certification in 2012 - an important commitment to the vineyard. In the cellar, he keeps things rooted in tradition: native yeasts kickstart fermentation and sulfur is only used sparingly when needed, and élevage takes place in a mix of foudres for reds and a blend of older barriques and foudres for whites. The result? Wines that are vibrant, soulful, and unmistakably Jura.
