Jura, France · White wine

Les Vianderies is considered one of Pupillin's finest Chardonnay terroirs, gravel over ancient marl, a combination that gives both weight and a particular mineral brightness. Jean-Michel Petit ages it in demi-muids and lets it settle into itself slowly, which is why these wines reward patience more than most. With the best part of a decade behind it, the 2016 has moved past its youthful reduction into something broader and quietly profound: baked orchard fruit, toasted nuts, a waxy texture and a long saline line. A Jura white with age on it, and all the better for it. Give it air.

Pairing Suggestions

Crab bee hoon or steamed pomfret.
Chicken with morels or a well-aged Comté.

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.
