Tasting notes
Arbois Pupillin, Jura, France. Biodynamic. Partially de-stemmed (50%) and fermented with natural yeasts in large barrels. The soils here are gray and blue marls soils made up of a kind of slate that breaks like cardboard. The wine has a smoky, flinty note on the nose and beautiful aromas of tangerine peel. A vibrant palate, with some salty notes on the finish.

'The 2020 Arbois Pupillin Savagnin Ouillé Foudre A Canon Nature has a beautiful nose. 2020 was an overall warm vintage, warmer than 2019, but Julien considers it a good year for Savagnin ouillé. The sensation in the palate is dry, with some fine tannins that will allow it stand up to food.'
