Savagnin is the grape that makes the Jura difficult to explain to anyone who has not tasted it, and Les Terrasses is a clear way in. Jean-Michel and Laurence Petit have farmed organically in Pupillin since 2010, certified from 2012, across seven and a half hectares of Triassic red marne. Each parcel ferments separately on its own yeasts and sulphur is kept to a minimum, sometimes to nothing. The wine is dry and saline with green apple and bruised citrus, a bitter almond note at the edges, and acidity that holds everything upright. It rewards an hour in the glass.

Pairing Suggestions

A wine to sit with for an hour rather than drink quickly.
Its salinity suits seafood cooked simply: white pepper crab, or steamed clams.
In Pupillin it would go with poultry in a cream sauce, or a well-aged 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.
