Domaine de Saint Pierre

Domaine de Saint Pierre, nestled in the Jura region of France, is helmed by winemaker Fabrice Dodane. After studying oenology in Beaune and working at a cooperative in Pupillin, Dodane began managing the estate in 1989 and assumed full ownership in 2011. The estate spans approximately 6 hectares in the Arbois and Côtes du Jura appellations, with vineyards planted on limestone and marl soils. Certified organic since 2012, Dodane employs biodynamic principles in his viticulture.

In the cellar, all wines are fermented with native yeasts, utilising either stainless steel tanks or neutral oak barrels. Red wines are vinified without the addition of sulfur, while whites are crafted in both the traditional oxidative "sous voile" style and the topped-up "ouillé" method. Dodane's approach results in wines that are clean, balanced, and expressive of their terroir. Additionally, due to challenging vintages in Jura, he produces a line called "Le Dos d’Chat" from purchased grapes, offering approachable, easy-drinking wines.

Jura

Jura, a small yet distinctive wine region in eastern France, is celebrated for its unique wines and picturesque landscapes. Nestled between Burgundy and Switzerland, it benefits from a cool climate and varied soils, ideal for producing a diverse range of wines. The region is particularly renowned for its oxidative whites, such as Vin Jaune, made from the Savagnin grape and aged under a layer of yeast, resulting in complex, nutty, and slightly tangy flavours. It also excels in producing fresh and vibrant white wines from Chardonnay, as well as light, earthy reds from Pinot Noir, Trousseau, and Poulsard. The region's sparkling wines, Crémant du Jura, are made using traditional methods and are known for their finesse and elegance. With its blend of traditional winemaking techniques and unique terroirs, Jura offers a fascinating wine experience for enthusiasts seeking distinctive and high-quality wines.
