Jura, France · White Wine · Medium Bodied

Jean-Michel and Laurence Petit started Domaine de la Renardière in 1990 and work seven and a half hectares, all of it inside Arbois-Pupillin. The village sits on Triassic red marnes, the iron-rich soils it is known for, and Jurassique comes off the most calcareous parcels among them. It is Chardonnay, fermented on indigenous yeasts with every parcel kept apart, and sulphur held back until just before bottling when it goes in at all. Jurassique names the rock, and the wine follows suit. It tastes of stone before it tastes of fruit, with citrus, hazelnut and a chalky, tightly drawn finish.

Pairing Suggestions

Chardonnay for people who think they have finished with Chardonnay.
The chalky edge wants something clean and steamed: yong tau foo in clear broth, or steamed prawns.
In the Jura, freshwater fish cooked in butter, or a young sheep's cheese.

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.
