The best local producers Pupillin

The Benoit's live in rue du Chardonnay in the "world capital of Ploussard". Not a handicap we assure you. The reds account for 50% of the 6 hectare estate, including 5 climates exclusive to this grape variety. It is managed by Benjamin. He will tell you about his objectives: sustainable vineyard management with the aim of becoming organic, manual harvesting in crates, vinification in barrels except for the Ploussard (in vats), without sulphiting or fining. At the same time, maintaining tradition, respecting each vineyard, and even preserving an 80 year old Chardonnay vine!

The entire range of Jura wines is offered on this 13-hectare estate, in a very personal way but with respect for the vintages. Paul started in 1976, so he has the (good) bottle and is now supported by his son Christophe. A very fine result for the pair, with a strong Jura character. Probably their passion for rugby too. Savagnins, macvins, and straw wines are regularly rewarded. The range offered is vast: from the rosé of summer to the crémant of Jura. The tasting takes place in the friendly and personal cellar. The 2016 ploussard (beware here we do not say pulse), the star grape of the vintage, seemed to us gouleyant, charming, with an animal nose full of sap. In good weather, you can enjoy it under the beautiful shaded terrace of the property.
