Jura, France · White Wine · Medium Bodied

The vines behind Cuvée 1966 were planted that year by Jean-Michel's father, the same vines he once sold off to the cooperative without knowing what they might become. Now Jean-Michel's son Léo tends and vinifies them, which makes this quietly a wine with three generations of Petit in the glass. Old-vine Chardonnay from Pupillin's limestone-rich soils, aged in wood, rich and precise in equal measure: a creamy depth held in check by real mineral tension. In magnum it has all the more room to unwind slowly. The kind of wine that needs nothing from you except a good glass and some time.

Pairing Suggestions

Pour it when there is something worth marking and time to sit with it.
Steamed fish with ginger, or crab bee hoon.
Comté, roast chicken, or poulet à la crème.

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.
