Jura, France · Red Wine · Light Bodied

Pinot Noir is the quieter half of the red plantings at Domaine de la Renardière, sitting alongside Poulsard and Trousseau. Jean-Michel and Laurence Petit farm seven and a half hectares in Arbois-Pupillin, organic since 2010 and certified from 2012, with every parcel fermented apart on its own yeasts and sulphur kept to a minimum or left out altogether. The Jura gives Pinot a particular shape: leaner than Burgundy, more red-fruited than dark, with an iron and earth undertow beneath the cherry. Fine tannins, high acidity, and no interest whatsoever in being big.

Pairing Suggestions

Jura Pinot, leaner and rather more argumentative than the Burgundian version.
Its acidity takes grilled and sour together: nam tok moo, or pork with tamarind.
Or roast quail, with juniper and a little bacon.

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.
